New York City and docks, 19th century
New York City and docks, 19th-century artwork. This view looks north-east up the East River from the bay of New York Harbour, USA. Manhattan (with Broadway) is at left, with the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn on Long Island at right. At lower right is the 11-pointed bastion of Fort Wood on the future Liberty Island, site of the Statute of Liberty. Part of Ellis Island is at bottom left. Clinton Castle (round offshore fort, lower left) is not yet surrounded by Battery Park, and bridges are yet to be built over the East River. Lithograph from volume 6 (1878) of the 9-volume The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne (1875-1880)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph captures the bustling cityscape of New York City and its docks. The view, looking northeast up the East River from the bay of New York Harbour, showcases the vibrant energy of this iconic American metropolis. On the left side, Manhattan dominates with its prominent Broadway stretching into the distance. To the right, we see Queens and Brooklyn on Long Island, showcasing their own unique charm. Intriguing historical landmarks are scattered throughout this artwork. At lower right stands Fort Wood, an 11-pointed bastion that would later become part of Liberty Island and home to the Statue of Liberty. Ellis Island can be spotted at bottom left, already playing a significant role in immigration history. The scene also reveals a city in transition. Clinton Castle, a round offshore fort located in lower left corner is yet to be surrounded by Battery Park. Bridges have not yet been built over the East River. This monochrome lithograph was originally featured in volume six (1878) of "The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D Tichborne". Todd-White Art Photography has beautifully preserved this piece capturing a moment frozen in time - an industrialized city on its path to becoming one of America's most iconic urban environments.
