New-York (From the Southwest), ca. 1852 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Cityscape of 19th Century Manhattan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-colored lithograph, created by K. Th. Westermann in New York around 1852, offers a remarkable snapshot of the city's vibrant atmosphere during the mid-19th century. The image showcases an expansive view from the southwest, capturing both land and water transport that epitomized New York's bustling trade and transportation hub. The lithograph portrays a diverse array of vessels navigating through the waters surrounding Manhattan Island. Majestic sailing ships gracefully glide alongside paddle steamers, showcasing both traditional and modern modes of water transport at that time. The Hudson River stretches out before us, its estuary providing a vital gateway for commerce and travel. In this richly detailed scene, we witness boats crisscrossing along the river while others rest peacefully in harbor or set sail towards distant horizons. The artist's meticulous attention to color adds depth to every element within this heritage artwork - from rooftops dotting the landscape to sails billowing against a clear sky. As we gaze upon this historic print housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported back in time to experience New York City as it once was - teeming with life and energy as it evolved into one of America's most iconic metropolises.
