A South-West View of the City of New York in North America
Etcher John Carwitham British
Publisher Bowles & Carver British
Not on view
This New York view shows Manhattan from the southwest during the colonial period, with a British warship in the harbor, firing its cannon to protect the city. Carwitham originally etched the image when the fort was named for King George, and that anachronistic detail remains in this later reissue by Bowles and Carver, a London publishing partnership formed in 1793, after American independence.
