Description

A landscape scene somewhere in the Thousand Islands on the St. Lawrence River. In the foreground are three men in a small rowboat, with an island with tall trees to the left and a few small rocky islands to the right. In the background to the right is another island with a cleared area with a small log cabin on it and a small rowboat with two figures in it on the water directly in front of it. Towards the background are additional small,treed islands and two steamboats. "KILBURN DEL" is in the print at the lower left (denotes that the image was drawn on the plate by Kilburn); "PEIRCE SC" is in print at the lower right (denotes the name of the individual who carved the plate for engraving).
