Bay and Harbour of New York from Staten Island - 19th Century

Undated illustration from the 19th century drawn by E.W. Clay, showing Staten Island coast and the New York Bay. Engraved by J.A. Rolph. Published for the New York Mirror. Source: New York Public Library.

The artist Edward Williams Clay (1799 – 1857) moved to New York in 1837, so this illustration was probably drawn between 1837 and 1842, the last year the New-York Mirror was published.
