Victor Perard. "The New York Columbian Celebration-The Naval Review." From Harper's Weekly. New York, October 22, 1892. Wood engraving. 12 3/4 x 42 1/4. With folds as issued. Very good condition.
A wonderful panoramic view of New York Bay from lower Manhattan. The scene shown is of the naval review held in honor of the Columbian celebration held in New York in honor of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. The bay and mouth of the Hudson River are filled with sailing and steam ships of all sorts and sizes. Of particular interest is the detail of Manhattan (seen from a roof top vantage point) and Jersey City across the river. The Statue of Liberty is shown in the distance. An unusual and are view of New York, its fold-out nature ensuring that most examples of this print were destroyed over the years. $750
