This image presents an etching or a drawing depicting an early 19th-century scene. In the center of the drawing is a two-story building with a date inscribed above the central door that reads "1798", suggesting this is a structure with historical significance from that year. To the left, there's another building portrayed with a more residential style, and a church spire can be seen in the background. The street in front is lined with a fence on one side and is relatively empty, which might indicate a calm, perhaps rural, setting or a small town. There are a few leafless trees visible, and some faint clouds are drawn in the sky. The artwork includes a signature at the bottom left that reads "H.R. Blaney '91," indicating that the artist is H.R. Blaney and the work was likely completed in 1891. There's another inscription at the bottom right that says "Federal St. Boston Theatre 1825." This could suggest the scene represents Federal Street in Boston, and the drawing captures how the street, including the Boston Theatre, looked in 1825. There are also some library markings at the bottom of the image, particularly "Harvard College Library" and a classification number "17610 21," which tells us the drawing is part of the Harvard College Library's collection. The print or drawing is mounted on an off-white background, which provides ample border space around the artwork, focusing attention on the historical scene depicted.
