'East Rock, New Haven', 1874. Countryside around East Rock, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
