Image of an eye-level street view of Broad Street in New York City, depicted in the late 18th century, with the Federal Hall city government building in the center background, and adjacent brick buildings and a cobblestone street in the foreground. Probable date based on publication of similar image in Valentine, Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York, 1866, page 553. Reference to original drawing in Stokes, American Historical Prints, page 75, notes the artist named on this item is "probably an error for John Joseph Holland, a well-known artist of this period." "From the Original Drawing by George Holland"--text, bottom left margin. "Lith. & Printed in Colors by C. Currier, 33 Spruce St. NY."--text, bottom right margin. "Drawn expressly for D. T Valentine's Manual."--text, bottom margin centered.
