Shickshinny, Pennsylvania (Susquehanna at Shickshinny); Weir on the Susquehanna

Thomas Addison Richards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a river scene with a small boathouse or weir on the water. The structure has a slanted roof and appears to be made of wood, with a small dock or platform extending into the water. A pile of logs or debris is on the left side of the structure. The water is calm and reflects the structure. There is faint illegible writing below the structure. The image is drawn on paper with a vertical crease down the left side. The paper has darker smudge marks down the crease. The image takes up less than half of the paper.
