A New-York River-Front, 1874. Creator: William James Palmer
A New-York River-Front, 1874. Sailing ships on the quay in New York Harbour, New York, USA....a quaint and picturesque scene, lying but a short distance from the Battery on the East-River side. This is a portion of the town which modern improvement has left untouched; the wharves where the old-fashioned ships from far-off ports discharge their precious cargoes; where merchants of the old Knickerbocker quality conduct their business in dark and unsavory chambers; where the old tars...are wont to assemble; where the very idea of a steamship is profanation - a venerable, quaint, and decaying place, dear to the hearts of the ancient mariners. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]

A Glimpse into New York's Maritime Past - A Quaint and Picturesque River-Front, 1874
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by William James Palmer offers a fascinating window into the bustling river-front of New York Harbor in 1874. The scene depicts a charming tableau of sailing ships gracefully moored along the quay, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Located just a stone's throw away from the Battery on the East River side, this particular stretch of town has managed to escape modern development, preserving its old-world charm. Here, weathered wharves serve as gateways for majestic vessels arriving from far-off ports, laden with precious cargoes that fuelled New York City's growth as an international trading hub. In this enchanting setting, merchants belonging to the esteemed Knickerbocker class conduct their business within dimly lit chambers steeped in history and mystery. It is here that seasoned sailors gather to share tales of their seafaring adventures while cherishing traditions untouched by steamships - symbols deemed profane in this venerable and decaying place. William Cullen Bryant's "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" captures this idyllic scene through pen and pencil illustrations crafted by eminent American artists like Harry Fenn. As we gaze upon Palmer's masterful engraving brought to life on steel and wood plates within these pages, we are transported back in time to witness the maritime industry thriving amidst breathtaking natural beauty along the Hudson River. This remarkable visual treasure serves as a testament to our rich nautical heritage and pays homage to those who shaped New York City into what it is today—a vibrant metropolis rooted deeply in its past.
