Etching in brown ink on paper

Artist: Frederick DeBourg Richards

C. 1881

This etching is lightly attached to a sheet of paper. Penciled in an unknown hand, “Home in which Gen Mercer died after Battle of Princeton NJ”

It is then signed F DeB Richards. However we do not know if this sentence and signature is in Richards own hand.


Richards worked as a landscape painter in New York City, New York in 1844-1845. In 1848 Richards moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and became a daguerreotypist. During the 1850s, Richards made landscape views of Pennsylvania.
