EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1856 showcases the bustling City of New York in all its grandeur. Printed and published by N. Currier, this colour lithograph captures the essence of a rapidly growing metropolis on the eastern coast of North America. The aerial view reveals an expansive landscape, with steamers and boats gracefully navigating the waters of the East River. The city's architectural marvels are prominently labeled, allowing viewers to appreciate their intricate designs and historical significance. Manhattan Island takes center stage, showcasing its iconic cityscape that would soon become synonymous with American ambition and progress. The Hudson River flows majestically alongside it, serving as a vital transportation route for both people and goods. A bird's eye perspective offers a unique vantage point, revealing the sprawling nature of this great American city. Tugboats dotting the river add a touch of charm to this vibrant scene while emphasizing the importance of water transport during that era. This remarkable print is not just a visual delight but also serves as an invaluable historical document capturing New York City at a pivotal moment in its development. It transports us back to an era when America was forging ahead into modernity, laying down foundations for what would eventually become one of the world's most influential cities - truly an extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder.
