The plate depicts INDEPENDENCE HALL from the WALNUT STREET SIDE (SOUTH), and shows INDEPENDENCE SQUARE, the site of the first public reading of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE in 1776.

The back is marked "WEDGWOOD ETRURIA, ENGLAND; JONES MCDUFFEE & STRATTON, BOSTON," and impressed "WEDGWOOD" and other marks. "JONES, MCDUFFEE & STRATTON of BOSTON" was the importer.
