Description View depicting Reading, Pa. from the west side of the Schuylkill River. In the foreground, foot and vehicular traffic travels on the dirt roads alongside the river’s edge, including a woman carrying a pail, a barefooted white boy with a bag and a dog at his feet, and a horse-drawn carriage carrying a white man and a woman. The women’s faces are obscured by the bonnets they wear. Also near the river, three cows lie down and one stands beside a wooden fence. Boats travel down the river. In the background, the cityscape of Reading is visible including buildings, houses, churches with steeples, and roads.
