The view is taken from the Bushongo Tavern, which its caption places five miles from Yorktown in the Baltimore area. The engraving appeared in the July 1788 issue of the *Columbian Magazine*, a Philadelphia monthly that printed views of American places in the years after the Revolution. Taverns of this kind served travelers on the roads that linked the young republic, so the scene offers a glimpse of everyday rural travel. The location details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
