Title
Wright's Ferry on the Susquehanna
Description
Engraved print entitled "Wright's Ferry, on the Susquehanna,/Pennsylvania." Above the title and under the scene is printed: "Engraved by G. Cooke, from a Large Print, by permission of Mr. Nightingale."
The scene depicts the Susquehanna River as it flows between Wrightsville and Columbia. Two behatted men on the river bank in the foreground, one seated and one standing with a walking stick. The scene looks north to the town of Columbia on the right (east) bank with building nestled close to a large cliff which represents Chickies Rock. Several sailboats are docked at Columbia and another is moored at the west bank of the river with several men standing nearby. No signs of settlement apparent on the York County side of the river.
As noted, this print is copied from another 'large print,' which in turn was published by George Nightingale in London in 1809, drawn by George Beck and engraved by Thomas Cartwright.
