MarkingsA slip of paper affixed to the back of the frame is inscribed in brown ink, "East Hartford, Nov 3, 1862 -- A.M., looking W."InscribedOn recto, lower right, in brown ink, "E. H. Nov 3 62"NotesSubject Note: According to the notes accompanying the watercolor, the drawing shows a view looking west from East Hartford, so presumably the Connecticut River valley occupies the middle ground and the hills in the background are the Metacomet Ridge.
