Bought this at the estate sale of an elderly lady that used to live behind me. Not sure where Highrock is in the picture, either in the foreground at left or up on the hill at the extreme left. Now all I need are some bottles to go with my go-with. [attachment=spring.JPG] [attachment=springs1.JPG]

I would throw in my guess as to the location as Saratoga Springs, NY. The Empire Springs helped.Scott

Yeah, it's hard to see but down at the bottom, it reads "Saratoga" and beneath that, "Highrock, Iodine, and Empire Springs".

The print was done in 1848 and here's a map from 1876 that was in Harpers weekly. Star Spring was first named President Spring and later Iodine before becoming Star. Empire would be across a road if there was one in 1848. Of coarse the print could just be an artist rendering.Now to the lighter side. Give those carriage driver speeding tickets for one.Also, I wonder how many well owners now filter all their water?[:D][attachment=sartogamap1876.jpg]
