A view up the James River where it cuts through the Blue Ridge Mountains. A leaning tree with autumn color frames the left foreground, steep wooded slopes rise on both banks, and a small boat with a lone figure floats mid-river. The James rises in the Allegheny Mountains and breaks through the Blue Ridge on its way east, a corridor long used by bateaux and later by the James River and Kanawha Canal.
White border; small publisher's device at lower right corner; light edge wear.
