George Heap's "The East Prospect of the City of Philadelphia, in the Province of Pennsylvania, 1761" is an engraving that depicts a detailed view of the city of Philadelphia in the mid-18th century.

Heap's engraving shows a panoramic view of Philadelphia as seen from the east, with a detailed depiction of the city's layout, architecture, and topography. The image is highly detailed and includes numerous buildings, streets, and landmarks, such as Independence Hall and the Delaware River. It is considered to be an important historical document, as it provides a valuable glimpse into the city as it appeared during the mid-18th century.

The engraving was created using a process called copperplate engraving. In this process, the artist would first draw the image on a flat sheet of copper, and then use a sharp tool to carve the lines of the image into the surface of the copper. The engraved lines would then hold ink, which could be transferred onto paper by applying pressure using a printing press.
