Commentary

Setting out for Philadelphia on July 16, MaxiImilian left Bodmer behind to await Dreidoppel's arrival from Providence. Before joining Maximilian a week later, Bodmer passed the time visiting local points of interest and sketching along the New York riverfront. His view of the North River near Hoboken remains in an unfinished state
