Beautiful Prints of Washington in the 1790s by George Isham Parkyns

View of the suburbs of the city of Washington
Take a look at these beautiful prints of Washington as it looked in the 1790s. They were done by George Isham Parkyns and show a slightly different, more pastoral landscape. See the print of the Potomac and guess which island it is!

Here is the print of the Potomac and I’m guessing that island is Roosevelt Island.
