Commentary

This unfinished watercolor, made at Bethlehem during the latter part of July, depicts the landscape in the direction of Mauch Chunk, center of an important anthracite coal mining operation some fifty miles away. It includes a view of Wohler's vineyards near the inn of that name on the outskirts of Bethlehem.
