A Glimpse into the Early 19th Century Urban Landscape of New York, a 1842 Print
Located in Langweer, NL
The hand-colored print titled "New York," published in 1842, presents a detailed and picturesque view of the cityscape of New York as it appeared in the early 19th century. The title "New York" is centered below the image. Below the title, the text reads "LONDON: Published by Thomas Kelly. 17, Paternoster Row," indicating the publisher and location of publication in London. Additionally, the text "S. Davenport. Sculp." is printed beneath the image, signifying that the engraving was done by S. Davenport.
Description of the Image:
- **Perspective**: The image provides a broad view, likely from an elevated point, showing the expanse of the city. The perspective gives a sense of depth, with the street extending into the distance.
- **Central Street**: A wide, unpaved street runs down the center of the image, flanked by rows of buildings on both sides. This street is bustling with various activities.
- **Buildings**: The buildings are primarily two to three stories tall, featuring a mix of architectural styles typical of the period. Some have distinct red roofs, adding a touch of color to the scene.
- **Churches**: There are several prominent churches with tall spires visible in the background, indicating the importance of religious institutions during that time.
- **Foreground**: In the foreground, to the right, there is a large, columned building, which might be a significant public or religious structure.
- **Activity**: The street scene includes horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, capturing the everyday life of the city's inhabitants.
- **Harbor**: In the far background, you can see masts of ships, indicating the proximity of the harbor and the importance of maritime activities to the city.
Artistic and Historical Context:
- **Engraving Style**: The work of S. Davenport, an engraver, suggests fine detail and precision typical of hand-colored prints of that era.
- **Historical Significance**: This print serves as a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the urban layout and architecture of New York City in the early 1840s.
- **Publishing Context**: Being published in London by Thomas Kelly indicates a transatlantic interest in the growing metropolis of New York, reflecting its emerging significance on the global stage.
This print is not only an artistic representation but also a historical record, encapsulating the essence of New York City during a period of significant growth and development.
Identifying specific buildings from a historical print like this one can be challenging, especially without modern landmarks for direct comparison. However, a few notable buildings and features from New York in the early 1840s could potentially be recognized based on historical context and architectural details.
Potential Recognizable Buildings:
1. **St. Paul's Chapel**: Given its prominent spire and proximity to the center of early New York...

Elegant 1844 Lithograph of a Persian Woman in Traditional Attire
Located in Langweer, NL
This handcoloured lithograph titled "Femme Persane" vividly captures the traditional attire of a Persian woman, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and detailed craftsmanship of 19th-century Persia.
The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844 in Paris.
The image stands out for its intricate detailing, especially the veil and robe, which are adorned with elaborate patterns and vibrant colors typical of Persian fashion.
The woman's attire includes a veil that covers the face partially, known as a "ruband," which was commonly worn in public by women in some regions of Persia as a sign of modesty and status. Her robe, layered and colorful, reflects the sophisticated textile techniques of the time, including embroidery and fabric dyeing, which were highly regarded skills in Persian society.
The attractiveness of such prints lies in their ability to convey the elegance and intricacy of Persian women's fashion, providing a window into the everyday life and social customs of the time.
The use of handcoloured lithography, a popular printing technique of the era, allows for vivid coloration and detailed representation, making these prints highly desirable for collectors and enthusiasts of historical fashion and cultural heritage.
