Image size (sight): 24" x 14" (approx. 61.0 x 35.6 cm).

Notations in image margin (printed): “Picture Drawn & Painted by James Bard, NY”; “M.S. Allison Boat Builder, NY”; “Fletcher, Harrison Engine Builders”; “John E. Brown, Joiner NY”; “Rogers, Painter NY.”
Frame: Wood frame in a weathered gray finish with double mat; wired to hang.
Condition (conservative): Good, priced for condition. Visible water staining/tide lines and some creasing in the sky area; overall toning; light waviness under glass. Minor scuffs and corner wear to frame; small spot to mat (see photos). Presents strongly at normal viewing distance. Sold as imaged.
Shipping: Price includes shipping within the U.S. Careful, protective packing; signature may be required on higher-value orders.
Notes: Offered as a reproduction print after James Bard, not an original 19th-century painting or hand-colored lithograph.
