This small earthenware plate is perhaps a dessert or bread plate. The more common name used for this series is America and Independence, due to those words appearing on the plate. The Armans assigned this view No. 8.  The central pattern on this example is taken from the source print shown below.   Prior to discovery of the source prints that Clews used for these patterns, researchers David and Linda Arman endeavored to provide descriptive names for them.  The Armans named this scene Two Story Building, Two Wings and Center Section.
