A winter view of Philadelphia sets this print apart from the city's many street and building views. The record gives no date, and the shelflist card that names Longacre & Co. and Matthias R. Longacre has not been verified, so the publisher and maker remain uncertain. Cold-season scenes like this were a popular print subject in the nineteenth century, when skating, sleighing and frozen waterways drew city residents outdoors. The collection holds two copies in color, which suggests the image was issued in more than one form.
