Description
English: Pencil and wash drawing of Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, ca. 1821-1823, by Alvan Fisher (1792-1863). Edited for color, brightness/contrast, and cropped. From source: "From an elevated situation [the roof of Wadsworth House] looking into the interior of the square, formed by the edifices." Depicts the buildings of Harvard College, Harvard Yard, a few human figures, trees and shrubs in foreground and scattered throughout, and also shows a small out-building appended to the east side of Harvard Hall. Buildings depicted include: Massachusetts Hall, Harvard Hall, Hollis Hall, Stoughton Hall, Holworthy Hall, and University Hall. This image varies in details from the similar view depicted in Fisher's oil painting and engraving. MS Am 2095 (1), Houghton Library, Harvard University
