Drawn from the grounds of Geo. W. Rhodes, Esq., this hand-colored lithograph looks out over Providence's harbor from private land rather than a street or wharf. John B. Bachelder issued it as number 19 in his *Album of New England Scenery* and dedicated it to the citizens of Providence. Endicott & Co. printed the lithograph in New York around 1858, when Providence was a busy port at the head of Narragansett Bay with its waterfront crowded with shipping.
