InscribedOn recto, lower left, in pencil, "Hinckley's Mill / (near Lebanon, Conn.) / Sept. 4, 1894. H. Yell [or Bell"On verso, lower right, accession numberNotesSubject Note: Connecticut Place Names lists both a Hinckley Brook and a Hinckley Pond in Lebanon. Hinckley Pond is "where H's mill now is....," 1882, Hurd, p. 482. (Finlay 2/5/2011)
Constituent Note: It seems fairly certain that the drawing was made by Huntington Phelps Meech since it is identical in style to the other six drawings, one of which is signed by him. It is not clear who H. Yell is, possibly someone associated with the mill. (Finlay 2/5/2011)
