Description

Interesting early view looking southeast from the Battery Promenade, copied from a rare early lithograph by Thomas Thompson.

The present example has been copied for Valentine's Manual, Volume III, 1919, based upon an original lithograph from the collection of Simeon Ford.  The original, entitled New York Harbor from the Battery, was published in 1829 and printed on 5 sheets, totaling approximately 55 x 25 inches.

The present reduced size example is the earliest printing drawn from the original, which is essentially unobtainable.

This is a rare 1881 Heinrich Windwart map of the New York City's Lower East Side, from Grand Street to the East River and from Montgomery to East Street, a region once known as the Corlear's Hook Farm. This is most likely the earliest specific published map if this part of New York. The meticulously compiled map illustrates multiple estates, including those of Nicholas Romayne, Nicholas Gouverneur, James Blanchard, Nicholas Cruger, Nicholas Low, Edward Laight, Stringham, Quackenbos, McComb, Roome, Willima Low, and the Gardner state. It illustrates the original waterline of Manhattan before the mid-19th century landfills. IN addition, it shows underwater lands belonging to the Corporation of New York according to the legislative act of 1871.
