The lithograph shows a tall stone obelisk standing in a grassy field. A few trees rise behind it. The sky is clear with wispy clouds. This is one of the earliest images of the Groton Monument. The obelisk honors soldiers from the Battle of Groton Heights in 1781. It was still new when Butts made this print. Check out the details of lithography next.
