Color print of a painting by Carl Bobertz. The painting appears to be an adaptation of the painting "Detroit as Seen from the Canadian Shore in 1821" by Alexander Macomb, which was also adapted as a drawing in volume one of Silas Farmers' The History of Detroit and Michigan in 1888. This version of the illustration has several differences from the others: a man is shown standing in the foreground, rather than a man fishing while sitting atop a rock ; the tree in the foreground and to the right has been moved from behind the tipi ; instead of two rowboats on the Detroit River, there is one rowboat pictured as well as a steamboat, possibly the Walk-in-the-Water. The artist's name is signed on the lower right. Pencil on the lower right of the drawing's border reads "Lenora and Carl Bobertz."
