Item 1, top: Image titled "Delaware River View of Philadelpia From the Southeast." This view from the river is of the Washington Avenue waterfront, c. 1880. Depicted is busy activity on choppy waters, featuring sailboats, a paddle steamer, a ferry, schooners, and a manned rowboat. Reproduction of an engraving by artist A. Lindsay and engraver Frederic B. Schell, for an unidentified publication, 19.5 x 13 cm, c. 1880.
Item 2, bottom: Image of the buildings along the banks of Dock Creek, at its mouth (later filled in, becoming Dock Street). The prominent building on the right is the Blue Anchor Tavern, built by George Guest, c.1682. The Blue Anchor was the earliest inn or tavern in Philadelphia. It was here William Penn first ate, upon landing in early Philadelphia. An anchor can be seen on a sign at the far corner of the tavern. Also depicted are people walking in the area, two gondolas--the one on the right is manned--and a drawbridge on the left. Lithograph drawn by artist William L. Breton and printed by Kennedy & Lucas, Lithography, 19 x 13 cm, c. 1830.
