The Delaware Valley

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This panoramic view depicts the scenic Delaware Valley in Pennsylvania, where the Delaware River cuts through the Kittatinny Mountains to New Jersey. Although the canvas is signed and dated, the final digit of the year is unclear. All evidence, however, points to 1863 as the picture’s date of execution.
