• I have a good quality copy of this scene, before the water staining. It is on heavy weight card stock and may have been part of a portfolio of similar pictures. As part of this sheet and printed in block type it says, LEAF COPPER ON WILLARD AND MERCER DOCK - 1864. On the back is a hand written notation saying, "Leaf Copper-Eagle River, Michigan 1864500 ton mass of Leaf Copper-found at Cliff Mine-Clifton, Mich."
