EDITORS COMMENTS
New York from Governors Island, no. 20 from the Hudson River Portfolio, engraved by J. Hill in 1821-25, captures a mesmerizing view of Upper New York Bay and Manhattan's iconic skyline. This coloured engraving by William Guy Wall showcases the beauty of the Hudson River School movement. The print immerses us in a vibrant seascape scene with choppy waves and sailing ships dotting the horizon. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every stroke brings life to this panorama. As our eyes wander across the image, we are drawn towards Castle Williams, an imposing fortification that stands proudly on Governors Island. This artwork transports us back to a time when New York was still emerging as one of America's greatest cities. It allows us to imagine what it would have been like standing on Governors Island and witnessing the bustling activity of ships navigating through these waters. The combination of natural elements - sea, sky, and land - harmoniously blend together in this composition. The colours chosen by Wall evoke a sense of tranquility despite the energetic waves crashing against the coast. As we admire this print from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of New York City's rich history and its enduring allure.
