This view centers on three of Saratoga Springs' mineral springs, Highrock, Iodine, and Empire, which together drew visitors to the New York resort town for its waters. The record dates the print to about 1849, though that date is unverified, and it links the work to a name, Deroy, found on a shelflist card. By the mid-19th century, Saratoga's springs had made it a fashionable destination, where visitors came to drink the waters, bathe, and be seen at the hotels and promenades. Prints like this one document how the springs looked to contemporary audiences.
