Honesdale, Section 4, Del. & Hudson Canal Co.

Thomas H. Johnson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a small town with closely packed houses, leading towards a rocky hill in the distance. The hill is covered with trees and shrubs at the top. The town's homes form a varied pattern of rooftops. The clear and detailed photograph is monochromatic with sepia and grayscale tones, resembling a historical image. Low lying hills and sparse forestry extend beyond the town, accentuating its location at the foot of the rocky hill.
