| Commentary: | The artist often set up his Wabeno, or sketching tent, on the edge of a river. “Cold as it was, though, I shall put up my little house on the river and make a sketch of it and the open water of the rapid. I had the men put up my sketching house very near to the open water.” (trip diary) See #194 for further commentary.
