[NEW YORK]. View of New York. Engraved by Sigismond Himely after John William Hill. Colored aquatint, plate in third state, showing the City of New York in 1852, from the Brooklyn side of the East River, looking over the island to the Hudson River and New Jersey beyond. Image 713 x 1250 mm (28 x .50 in.). Matted and glazed in a large giltwood frame. "Hill's splendid view of New York City depicts a seaport where the profile of the many ships thickening its water - barks, brigantines, four-riggers, schooners, sloops and steam-packets - rivals in density the granite profile of urban buildings" (Dek, Painting America).
