The image shows an aerial view of a canal celebration. The scene includes a decorative float being pulled by two horses with three figures on it, a dam-like structure diverting water into waterfalls, a collection of buildings along a winding road leading into the hills, and additional carriages. The horizon features a range of hills or mountains meeting a body of water under a cloudy sky. The image is created with detailed linework and a monochromatic color scheme of gray and black, giving it a historic visual impression. — William H. Tuthill, Clinton Fire Company, No. 41, 1826, lithograph, Reba and Dave Williams Collection, Gift of Reba and Dave Williams, 2008.115.4798
