This early drawing of the village of New Glarus looks from east of the village towards the west. Below the drawing is written " Neu Glarus, Nord America." On the back is a handwritten note reading, "das Bild komt von Mathias Jenni ein früher Ansiedler." Translation: "The picture came from Mathias Jenni an early settler." The white stone Swiss Church can be seen in the center right, which dates the drawing between 1858, when the white stone church was built, and 1901, when the red brick church replaced the stone church.
