DescriptionView of the Park River, Hartford, looking west towards the Old Stone Bridge. A lumber mill is at the left; the gambrel roofed building to the right is probably George S. Lincoln's Phoenix Iron Foundry, located on Arch Street. A dam links these two industrial structures. An artist, possibly a self-portrait, is seated sketching in the left foreground.
