DescriptionThis view was lithographed for inclusion in "Plates Illustrating the Geology & Scenery of Massachusetts," which accompanied Edward Hitchcock, Report on the Geology, Mineralogy, Botany, and Zoology of Massachusetts (Amherst: Press of J.S. and C. Adams, 1833).
In most copies of the atlas, the print is hand colored and bears the inscription "Plate II" at upper right. This MFA impression is a variant, perhaps a proof, as it does not bear a plate number.
