| Description | Drawing shows a three panel allegorical scene with American Indians at left looking across lake with a canoe, toward buffaloes grazing on the Great Plains above which rise the Rocky Mountains, a Native woman sits and covers her face as if weeping; at top of the center panel is the White House; at bottom of the center panel are instruments of exploration and study; on the right, a man is writing at a desk as ships steam past and the sun rises over a scene of the new America. On the verso is a sketch of a waterfront cityscape, perhaps of Philadelphia and the Schuylkill River. |
