NotesSource Note: The composition corresponds closely to an engraving after William Henry Bartlett, "View from Hyde Park," but the figures at the right have been altered. There could be another, intermediate source, such as a print by Currier & Ives, though no print with this title is listed in the Gale Research Catalogue. (Finlay 3/10/2004)
