From the description on the website of the Philadelphia Print Shop: "An unusual view, this print has a perspective along the bank of the waterworks race, looking towards the bridge which crossed it. A punter is depicted in the race and two women and a child rest on the bank. The buildings of the waterworks can be seen behind the race and the promenade and gazebo of the Fairmount Gardens appear in the far background."
