EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "The ferry, New York, c. 1750" takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of colonial America. The image showcases the Brooklyn Ferry Pier in the foreground, offering a glimpse into the daily life and transportation of this era. As we gaze across the East River, we are transported to Manhattan Island, where towering ships dot the harbor and docks line the riverbank. This illustration beautifully captures a moment in history when boats were a vital means of transport and trade. The scene exudes an air of excitement and activity as people go about their business on land and water. The vessels gracefully navigate through the river's currents while a tugboat stands out with its distinctive presence. With meticulous detail and skillful engraving techniques, this artwork by American School invites us to explore 18th-century New York City from a unique perspective. It serves as both a visual record of historical significance and an artistic masterpiece that transports us back to an era long gone. This print is part of Peter Newark American Pictures' private collection, ensuring its preservation for future generations to appreciate.
