Lithograph showing a man and woman horseback riding, a gentleman walking with his cane, and a man walking with two horses on a towpath in the foreground and Peter's Island, a canal boat, row boat and larger steam vessel on the Schuylkill River in the background. Peter's Island was immediately north of the Columbia Railroad Bridge in Fairmount Park., Cataloging funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (PW-506-19-10), 2010-2012., Kollner advertised four volumes of small folio pictures, including "Bits of Nature and Some Art Products, in Fairmount Park ..." in 1878. Several of the lithographs from this volume were based on sketches he executed in the 1840s.
