- Description:
- Mounted black and white print of a drawing of the Detroit River circa 1826 taken from page 375 of volume one of Silas Farmer's book, The History of Detroit and Michigan. The drawing is inspired by the painting, Detroit as Seen from the Canadian Shore in 1821, by Alexander Macomb. The Windsor shore of the river is pictured at the lower right, where a man sits atop a rock, fishing. To his right, a woman sits inside a tipi. A pair of rowboats are nearby in the river, while several sailing ships are docked along the opposite shore, in Detroit. The twin steeples of St. Anne's Catholic Church rise above the city's roof tops. The western tip of Belle Isle is visible in the distance. "Somner del., from old drawing" printed in lower left. "Copyright by Silas Farmer, 1888" printer in lower right. 1826 printed in handwriting on recto, and "c.1826 Farmer v. I p. 373, based on Macomb water color," handwritten on verso.
