These pen and ink drawings are in reverse to the original red-chalk drawing by Bouchardon in the British Museum collection and are presumably drawn after the prints.

An intriguing image showing the short-lived utopian community of Nashoba. Established in 1826 in Tennessee this was to be a community where whites and free blacks could live and work together. This may have been a scene of a fund raiser for the community. Nashoba did not last past 1830.

The image is rather ambiguous. It could have been a projected image from a magic lantern or could be an image from a moving panorama.
