"The Big Apple in two stunning views"Measures each 56,5 x 85 cm, in custom-made mats and fine old frames.Two colored lithographs after the original painting by Charles R. Parsons (1844-1920) and Lyman W. Atwater (1835-1891) representing two different views of the Port of New York. They were published by Currier and Ives, who used to call themselves the "Printmakers to the People". Founded in 1834, they produced high-quality lithographs until the business closed in 1907: hundreds of images that chronicled the growth of the United States. These stunning bird's-eye views show typical boats and ships of the late 19th century veering in and around Staten Island, Governor's Island, part of Brooklyn, New Jersey and Manhattan, and include several points of interest. At the center of the first view is Castle Garden, originally an island and cultural hub with a world famous theater. The view of the Port is titled "Bird's eye from the Battery".

first edition, in 4° (cm 32x23), pp. XXXI, 2, 299, 3 b.; leg. edit. m/tela avana con tit. in oro al ds., e grande ill. applicata al piatto ant.; front. in rosso e nero. Continua dal frontespizio: "Containing, among Many Surprising and Curious Matters, the Unutterable Pondering of Walter The Doubter, The Disastrous Projects of William The Test, and the Chivalric Achievements of Peter the Headstrong - the Three Dutch Governors of New Amsterdam; Being the Only Authentic History of the Times that Ever Hath Been or Ever Will be Published", il tutto abbellito da 8 tavv. f.t. di Maxfield Parrish su carta pesante. L'origine di New York risale al 1626, quando l'olandese P. Minnewit acquistò dagli Indiani l'isola di Manhattan e vi fece costruire il forte Amsterdam, intorno a cui sorse il centro commerciale Nuova Amsterdam, che si popolò rapidamente di protestanti profughi da ogni parte dell'Europa e della Nuova Inghilterra. A causa del governo dispotico della Compagnia Olandese delle Indie Occidentali, quando la flotta inglese si presentò davanti alla città (1664) gli abitanti costrinsero il governatore P. Stuyvesant alla resa; questa divenne possedimento inglese, mentre in onore del duca di York assunse il nome attuale, insieme all'intero territorio della Nuova Olanda. Piccole sbucciature agli angoli, lieve gora all'angolo sup. esterno del piatto ant., e lievi sporadiche fior. ma ottimo, fresco e solido esemplare. 083-40
