This is a synopsis of the text that accompanies the print in the portfolio (authorship attributed to S.R. Koehler):
The author describes that Mispek (also Mispec) is a small post-village in New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy. It was mentioned in Lippincott's "Gazetteer." This was an area regularly depicted by Parrish.
This etching was originally published by Cassell & Co. in the 1884 portfolio "Twenty Original American Etchings." All of the works from this portfolio, along with the twenty prints from the 1883 "Original Etchings by American Artists," also by Cassell & Co., were combined to create "Gems of American Etchers" in 1885.
