Additional Details

Uncommon vista of Manhattan - the bird's-eye perspective is set from Belvedere Castle and many recognizable features of Central Park are plainly seen: The Ramble, The Lake, Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Bow Bridge, and Sheep Meadow; several other buildings, pavilions, and architectural elements appear which no longer stand. The city, bounded by the Hudson and East Rivers, recedes from Central Park South down to the Brooklyn Bridge and the Bay beyond.
