Description from the publisher: "On pages 168 and 169 we present an accurate panoramic view of this great thoroughfare, commencing at the Astor House, and running up Broadway. To any person who is acquainted with the main artery of the city of New York, these views will appear most natural and perfect. Our New York friends will feel quite at home while viewing them. Broadway is the great street of streets on this continent, unequalled in its busy aspect, breadth, length, and all that goes to form a splendid and unrivalled thoroughfare."
