This hand-colored engraving of the building that would later become known as West College accompanied an article about Dickinson College that appeared in March 1811 in a publication titled The Port Folio.
The text beneath the engraving reads: From a Sketch by A. Brackenridge B. Tanner F.S.A. fc. DICKENSON COLLEGE
Alexander Brackenridge was member of Dickinson's graduating class of 1809. Benjamin Tanner was a noted printer and engraver. The college's name was misspelled here on the engraving, but correctly spelled in the article text that this engraving accompanied.
