Included are works by some of the most important artists and etchers of the time. 'The Sago River Valley' etched by W. Wellstood after a painting by George Inness. 'Landscape with Sheep' etched by James D. Smillie after a painting by Charles Emile Jacque. 'The Prophet Elijah' etched by Kimberly after a painting by Washington Allston. 'A Philadelphia Beauty' etched by Stephen J. Ferris after a painting by Gilbert Stuart. Each etching is accompanied by a sheet of descriptive text.
