The image depicts an old lithograph of a serene rural scene, illustrated in a sepia tone. At the center of the composition is a modest stone building, likely a mill or a farmhouse, nestled amid some trees. A couple of figures, appearing to be a parent and child, are depicted walking along a path in front of the building. The path leads to a small bridge over a stream. There's a variety of trees, both deciduous and coniferous, surrounding the structure, adding depth and a sense of tranquility to the scene.

The lithograph is signed with the name "D.C. Johnston del" at the bottom, and it includes an additional marking, "Lithog of Pendleton." The image is dated "Boston 1835." There are scattered brownish stains, possibly from age, spread across the paper, giving it an antiquated look.

This image depicts a sepia-toned lithograph featuring a pastoral scene. A rustic building, possibly a mill or farmhouse, is situated at the center-right, with a waterway running alongside it and a small wooden footbridge crossing over to the doorway. There are a couple of figures near the building, suggesting human activity. On the left side of the image, another figure is seen walking, possibly on a path or road. Trees of various kinds adorn the landscape, contributing to a peaceful rural setting. The aged appearance of the paper, with noticeable brown spotting—perhaps foxing caused by age—is evident throughout the image.

The bottom left indicates the artist as "D. Compton del." (likely the person who drew the original design), while the bottom right credits "Lithog. of Pendleton" presumably for the lithography process. The bottom center of the lithograph has the text "BOSTON HARBOR" which might indicate the subject or origin of the scene, though it does not depict a traditional harbor scene, suggesting it might refer to a location named Boston Harbor rather than a literal harbor. Additionally, there appears to be handwriting at the top left corner, possibly related to the archival or collection history of the lithograph, but it's not clearly legible. The date "Nov 18, 1856" is visible in the lower right area, which probably refers to the date of creation or publication.
