Notes:

Depicts a fashionable residential neighborhood on Walnut Street between 18th and 19th Streets. Well-dressed people stroll on the sidewalk in front of the grand houses facing leafy Rittenhouse Square. The iron railing bordering the square is visible on the left, and the tower of Holy Trinity Church rises above the trees.
