This Lithograph by Richie Dunnavant c. 1850, was likely an advertisement for Slash Cottage as a resort destination on the Richmond-Fredericksburg and Potomac (RF and P) railroad.  As trains passed through rural communities on its way from city to city, in this case, Richmond to The Potomac River, small "resort" towns were built to delight passengers.
