Label TextThis etching was produced for a portfolio entitled American Memorial Etchings that included scenes of Colonial buildings. The series was commissioned by New York publisher Benjamin Franklin Buck and distributed by the Colonial Society of America. Most of the plates were etched by Shaw, but due to his failing eyesight, one was executed by John Sloan and 16 by James Horsey Fincken.
