The gallery·1917
Harmar’s ford as it was in 1917
Leaf 106, printed page 99.
What the sheet says
The caption, exactly as the sheet prints it:
HARMAR’S FORD AS IT IS TODAY.
The inset plan puts the ford at the foot of Harmar Street, which is the same fix the 1843 Sentinel sketch gives in words.
What it is
Pen drawing. Nobody bought this plate.
A pen drawing by the book’s own author, of the river as it stood in 1917. It is not a picture of the battle and does not show one.
Named on it
- Harmar’s ford
Where it comes from
The Pictorial History of Fort Wayne, Indiana, volume 1, 1917, leaf n106, printed page 99. Public domain. Published before 1929, so out of copyright in the United States. Internet Archive. By B. J. Griswold. The imprint was not read off the title page.
Leaf n106, printed page 99. The illustration sits inside a page of text, so the crop takes the picture, its street plan inset and its caption line: from (240,1385), 1695 by 1855. Served at 1695 by 1855.
