Notes
In the Lambertville Record, critic Gordon Cooper remarked that "Folinsbee's vigorous brush has found another beauty in Lambertville in 'River Front.' It was painted from New Hope, the bridge on the left, the river in the foreground and an idealistic arrangement of spires and buildings in the background. Folinsbee records beauty here which few of us have had the eyes to see."
