Specialist note
The present scene was based on a lithograph by August Köllner, a version of which is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number: 67.630.36). Astor House, is visible on the right hand side of the scene.
Köllner was a Philadelphia-based artist, etcher, engraver, and lithographer who immigrated to the United States in 1839. Broad-way was part of his ambitious project to make more than one hundred drawings of American and Canadian cities, which resulted in fifty-four lithographs published in New York and Paris between 1848 and 1851.
