Note:
Manuscript plan of Washington's house and grounds at Mount Vernon, bordered by scenes of the estate, profiles of George and Martha Washington, and quotes from Washington's correspondence. Tripp lived in Alexandria, Virginia, for part of his professional life, so visits to the estate may have inspired making the plan, or it might have been a professional assignment as part of his landscape design business. Date is estimated from this plan's inclusion in the 1932 May Show at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
