Bridge over the Tobyhanna

Description

On the afternoon of August 2 71 Maximilian and Bodmer explored the banks of Tobyhanna Creek, and Bodmer made a sketch of the bridge crossing it. Maximilian commented in his journal that Bodmer waded several times across the stream until he found "a favorable spot for the view. The rest of us were looking for birds and plants." Another view of this bridge was reproduced as Vignette IV in the atlas of plates that accompanied the publication of Maximilian's journal nearly ten years later.
