Additional Details

"This depiction of 'New York and Environs' in one of the most beautiful and precise from the immediate post-Civil War period. . . . The view is amazingly comprehensive, and we are made aware of contrasts in New York's topography far into the northeast and northwest regions of the city. It shows, too, how the regions directly east and west of lower Manhattan (Brooklyn and New Jersey) were contemporaneously settled, long before the north of Manhattan was developed"--Deak 816.
