About the Item

Historic Engraving of Newburgh, NY with Hudson River View, c. 1850 This antique engraving beautifully captures a mid-19th-century view of Newburgh, New York, nestled along the scenic banks of the Hudson River. Published by J. & F. Tallis in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin around 1850, this finely detailed print showcases the bustling town of Newburgh at a time of great growth and economic promise. The central scene presents Newburgh’s charming architecture and harbor, where ships anchor against the backdrop of the Hudson Highlands. The town’s buildings and winding roads, populated with livestock and framed by tall trees, speak to a rustic yet industrious American town in the 1800s. The harbor itself bustles with ships and commerce, conveying the essential role of the Hudson River in regional trade and daily life. Ornate scrollwork frames the scene, incorporating vignettes that enrich the historical narrative. One depicts Columbus presenting his discoveries to Ferdinand and Isabella, connecting Newburgh’s story to the larger narrative of European exploration in the Americas. Another shows the Huguenots landing in America, symbolizing the religious freedom and diverse cultures that shaped communities like Newburgh. Engraved with precision and care, this print reflects the artistry and craftsmanship of J. & F. Tallis, known for their elegant and informative engravings. Its rich textures and balanced composition make it not only a historical document but also a visually engaging piece of American heritage. Condition Report: This engraving is in good condition, with minimal foxing and light toning confined to the margins. The engraved lines are crisp and clear, and the paper is stable with no major tears or repairs. Tips for Framing: For a classic and refined presentation, consider a dark walnut or black wooden frame with an off-white or antique cream mat. This will highlight the fine detail of the engraving and complement the historic charm of the print.
