EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of colonial Lower Manhattan. Partially colored, this engraving from 1853 showcases the southern end of Manhattan Island as a thriving port city and commercial hub of the colony of New York. The original artwork dates all the way back to March 25,1746, giving us a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic location. As we explore this detailed image, various landmarks are numbered for our reference. From the fort (1) and chapel within it (2), to the Great Dock with its bridge (4) and White Hall ruins (5), each element tells a story about life in colonial America. We can also spot Nutten Island (6) and Long Island (7), reminding us of their significance in trade and commerce during that era. The vibrant markets such as the lower market (8) and Great Flesh Market (10) showcase how vital trade was to this growing city. Notably, City Hall (14) stands tall among other prominent buildings like The Exchange (15), Dutch church (12), English church (13), French church (16). These structures symbolize both cultural diversity and civic pride. From shipbuilding wharves (21) to ferry houses (22) servicing Long Island, every corner seems alive with activity. Even Colonel Morriss Fancy turning windward on his ship adds an intriguing touch. This remarkable print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers insight into early American society's reliance on waterways for commerce, trade, and transportation. It serves as a testament to New York's enduring legacy as one of America's most influential cities throughout history.
