Not on view

This drawing relates to the early history of Central Park, showing the transverse road at 79th Street in 1870, before the Park opened officially in 1873. Male pedestrians use an elevated sidewalk at right and horse-drawn carts make their way along the dirt road which contains ruts and fallen rocks.
