The title places this view at the new east entrance of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, a detail that sets it apart from the many images of the mansion's main façade. It is a photomechanical print of an engraving by H. C. Merrill, a process that let drawings like this one circulate widely in books and periodicals. The house was rebuilt after British forces burned it in 1814, and later changes to its grounds and approaches are recorded in views like this one. The print belongs to the Mrs. H.S. Owen Collection at the Library of Congress.
