Titled only by its date, this watercolor and gouache drawing is identified by the Statue of Liberty board it hangs on, and it is dated April 1, 1924. Joseph Pennell, the Philadelphia-born illustrator known for his drawings of city streets, bridges and harbors, made it, and it was later reproduced in *The Glory of New York* (1926), a book with an introduction by his wife, Elizabeth Robins Pennell. The sheet came to the Library of Congress through the Pennell bequest and was shown in the 1983-84 exhibition *The Pennell Legacy*.
