EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Plan of the City of New York in 1767" offers a fascinating glimpse into the metropolis's early days. Created by an anonymous American School artist in the 18th century, this print showcases the meticulous cartography skills employed to map out Manhattan during that era. Surveyed by Bernard Ratzen, this detailed plan provides a unique perspective on how New York City appeared before it transformed into the bustling urban center we know today. Every street and alley is meticulously depicted, offering viewers a chance to explore the city's layout as it stood over two centuries ago. The engraving technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to each building and landmark featured on the map. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical accuracy, making it an invaluable piece for collectors or history enthusiasts alike. As you gaze upon this lithograph, take note of how different New York City was back then – its streets less crowded with carriages instead of cars, its skyline dominated by low-rise structures rather than towering skyscrapers. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate how much our beloved city has evolved throughout history. With its rich historical significance and stunning craftsmanship, "Plan of the City of New York in 1767" is not just a work of art but also a window into America's past.
