Additional Details

"This unusual panorama of the East River waterfront takes in a large part of the city and its surroundings. With its realistic projection and dense reading, it has the look of a photograph. A wide strip of the Brooklyn shore borders the lower margin of the lithograph... Across the East River, all of the settled area of Manhattan is included, and if we look beyond the island, across the Hudson, we can see the New Jersey shore" (Deak 559).
