EDITORS COMMENTS
This black ink print, titled "Plan of the City of New-York [as far north as East 31st Street], 1817" offers a fascinating glimpse into the early development of one of America's most iconic cities. Created by William Hooker in 1817, this meticulously detailed map showcases the layout and structure of New York City during that time. Measuring at an impressive 32x43 cm, this historic artifact is now part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society in the United States. The plan provides a comprehensive view of downtown Manhattan, including Lower Manhattan and its surrounding areas. As you examine this piece closely, it becomes evident how much has changed over two centuries. The intricate network of streets and avenues depicted here serves as a testament to the city's evolution and growth since then. It allows us to trace back to a time when horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets instead of bustling taxis or towering skyscrapers dominating the skyline. This print not only appeals to history enthusiasts but also captures anyone's imagination with its ability to transport us back in time. It reminds us that beneath our modern metropolis lies layers upon layers of rich heritage waiting to be explored. Whether you are a native New Yorker or simply intrigued by urban development, this remarkable artwork invites you on an enlightening journey through time and space within one frame.
