Illustration of the City of New York, looking north from Trinity Church. Broadway is on the left and Wall Street is on the right. The original title is: New-York, in 1849, but the illustration, drawn by Edward B. Purcell, was registered by the engraver Stephen Weekes, in 1848, according to text on print.

Judging from the perspective, this illustration was taken from the tower of the third temple of Trinity Church, then the tallest structure in the City, consecrated in 1846. The tower was drawn a bit further north.
