"City Hall, New York"

This beautiful view was included in John H. Hinton's History and Topography of the United States of North America. Hinton's travel book was first published in 1830.  Its text and pleasing illustrations made the work so popular that it continued to be published in a variety of editions for over 30 years. The views were based upon the drawings and paintings of many well known artists, some of whom, worked on the spot. They were engraved by some of the most accomplished engravers of the period. J. Archer engraved this view based upon C.
Burton's original design. It shows the impressive building at the center of the image with many fashionably attired figures and a carriage in the street.

8 x 15 inches.
Hand colored steel engraving.
Excellent condition.
