The plaque says, "This painting shows how the site may have appeared on the morning of May 10, 1692. On that day, the new royal governor, Sir Lionel Copley, met the legislature for the first time in the Council Chamber, and officially took control of Maryland from Lord Baltimore. The bird's eye view depicts Garrett Van Sweringen's busy enterprise along Aldermansbury Street, a main route in St. Mary's City. Although streets were important, the river remained a vital highway for both trade and travel."
