This is an early nineteenth-century view north across the plain at West Point toward Polopels Island and the north gate of the Hudson Highlands. The West Point Hotel appears at the right.

The heavy embossed paper on which the watercolor is mounted is stamped at lower left and lower right with the inscription: "De La Rue & Co., London."

The Latham mansion, one of New York's colonial landmarks, was formerly located at 40-42 Cherry Street, above Franklin Square and just south of its intersection with Roosevelt Street (both streets have been obliterated in this vicinity). The two houses, no. 40 at the left and no. 42 at the right, were originally one structure occupied by the Latham family, shipbuilders and local landowners, from 1702 to 1809. British officers were billeted in the house during the American Revolution.
