(Philadelphia): W(illia)m. H. Morgan, (ca. 1800). Second state. Hand-colored engraving. Engraved by Samuel Seymour after a drawing by Thomas Birch.

"When William Russell Birch conceived the idea of engraving one of the subjects from his series of views of Philadelphia in a larger size to stimulate interest in the series, his son Thomas executed the drawing" and "offered by the senior Birch 'as elegant furniture for a drawing or setting room, which will serve as references for amusement to the two volumes, when conversation or entertainment of more consequence should cease to be the subject of a party.'...The first state of this large engraving was issued before the addition of the imprint William H. Morgan and has some slight differences in the drawing." (Deak 241).
