Plate opposite page 73 in John F. Watson's Historic tales of olden time : concerning the early settlement and progress of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania ; for the use of families and schools ; illustrated with plates (Philadelphia : E. Littell :
Thomas Holden, 1833).
|
|
William L. Breton and Kennedy & Lucas created many of the lithographic plates for Watson's Annals of Philadelphia, so it is
probable that they also created the plates in Historic tales of olden time.
