View across rooftops spreading into the distance towards far hills with a tall spire in middle ground dominating the skyline. A large church is visible in the foreground, on the left-hand side. The 18-years-old Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII) visited Cincinnati in September 1860 during a four-month tour throughout Canada and the United States of America. It is likely that he acquired this photograph at the time of his visit to the city.
