This view brings us back to the British-ruled port of the 1730s when the only future landmarks were lower Manhattan’s churches, City Hall and the fortification of the Battery. A View of Fort George with the City of New York from the S. W., engraved and hand-colored in 1764, depicts the tall masts of the Union Jack-flying ships vying with church steeples to define the skyline. This magnificent view long provided a historic reference point for the documentation of changes to and demolition of landmarks including Trinity Church, the original Lutheran Church, and the New Dutch Church. This is your chance to own the city’s original river and harbor view.

"Absolutely perfect and magnificent".
