EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene of the New York City Draft Riots in 1863. In this intense moment frozen in time, an angry mob can be seen ransacking a drug store on 2nd Avenue. The engraving provides a contemporary perspective on the events that unfolded during this tumultuous period. The image serves as a stark reminder of the civil unrest and danger that gripped Manhattan during those fateful days from July 13th to July 16th.
