New York from Bergen Hill, Hoboken [a bird's-eye panorama]
[London], 'Illustrated London News', 1876.
A very large panoramic view on paper (printed surface 450 × 1158 mm, sheet size 610 × 1285 mm).
Old horizontal and vertical creases where folded (as issued), with splits along a couple of folds expertly sealed on the verso; restoration to some tears and small chips to the margins (most of them easily concealed when matting or framing); the whole now archivally mounted on flush-cut sturdy Japanese paper; a very presentable example of a desirable ephemeral publication.
Engraved by Robert Loudan from a drawing by Thomas Sulman, this fine bird's-eye view was issued as an 'Extra supplement to the Illustrated London News, August 19, 1876'. It shows the island of Manhattan from Battery Park to Central Park, maritime traffic on the Hudson and East Rivers, and the recently-completed piers of the Brooklyn Bridge.
