BECK FAMILY IS
PAINTING DONOR
Work of Noled Local Artist
Showing Old Harrisburg
Given to Public Library
Through the generosity of the
family of the late J. Augustus Beck,
noted Harrisburg artist, a painting
of the Susquehanna Water Gap at
Rockville showing parts of Cum
berland county and the upper end
of Harrisburg was to-day placed in
the new Harrisburg Public Library
and will be formally acknowledged
by the trustees. The painting was
considered by the artist to bo one of
his best works and possesses an un
usual historical value.
The work was executed in 1881
and 1882 and is about five feet long.
It contains some points of interest
now of the past. It represents an
evening hour in the river valley and
was painted from Port Washington,
on the west shore of the river. Rup
ley's island, which disappeared in
the great flood of 1889, is shown in
the center of the picture and behind
the hill is seen the snow of the old
West Fairview nail works, since dis
mantled. Parnis are shown where
Enola, the railroad town and its big
yards are ifow located, while the
upper end of Harrisburg is mainly
fields. Wormleysburg, which
about 100 years old, is shown in the
foreground. Since the .painting the
new Rockville bridger and the Luck
now yards have been built.
It was Mr. Beck's desire that the
picture should be given to the
library, which wish has been carried
out through his children.
