EDITORS COMMENTS
NEW YORK: GOVERNMENT HOUSE. A glimpse into the past, this lithograph takes us back to 1790 when a grand building stood proudly on lower Broadway, facing Bowling Green in New York City. Originally intended as a residence for President Washington, it later served as the Custom House from 1799 until its unfortunate demolition in 1815. The artist N. R. Robinson skillfully brings to life C. Milbourne's watercolor from 1797, capturing the essence of this historic landmark with remarkable detail and precision. The lithograph showcases the exterior of Government House amidst bustling city streets, where horse-drawn carts and men go about their daily activities. This snapshot transports us to an era when America was still young and growing rapidly. It offers a glimpse into the Federal government's presence in Manhattan during that late period of history. The image evokes a sense of awe at the architectural beauty and significance of Government House within New York City's evolving landscape. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how our cities have transformed over time. It invites us to appreciate both the historical importance and artistic craftsmanship captured within this stunning piece.
