Panoramic View of New York Taken from the North River
Not on view
This beautiful aquatint was executed about 1840 but was reissued in 1844 as a companion piece to "Panoramic View of New York Taken from the East River." When he arrived in America in 1839, Robert Havell was already celebrated for the engravings he produced with his father for John James Audubon's famous "The Birds of America." Living in New York, Havell continued to produce high-quality prints like these views, and also established himself as a landscape painter working in the Hudson River school style.
