Inscriptions Printed on mount on recto, BC: MINNE-HA-HA ("LAUGHING WATER.") \ "Sweet Minne-ha-ha, like a child at play, \ Comes gaily dancing o'er her pebbly way, \ Till reaching with surprise the rocky ledge, \ With gleeful laugh, bounds from its crested edge." \ From Martin's Art Gallery, 264 Third Street, St. Paul
