Bird's-eye view of New York City and Brooklyn, from the southeast, showing Battery Park and Governors Island in the foreground. Drawn by G.F.

This a poor quality engraving, showing some distorted parts of the city and many buildings missing , but of historical value, as it is among the earliest views of its kind of New York. Below, enlargement of the central part.
