From a point west of Covington, Kentucky, this view looks across the Ohio River toward Cincinnati, placing the viewer on the Kentucky bank with the city's waterfront laid out on the far shore. The shelflist card associates the print with Middleton, Strobridge & Co., a firm connected with Cincinnati lithography, but the record has no date and the attribution is unverified. Riverfront city views like this were widely produced in the nineteenth century, when printed panoramas gave viewers a way to see a growing river city's skyline and the steamboat traffic along its shore.
