Sleighing in New York
New York: Emil Seitz, c.1855. Notes: A winter scene set before Barnum's Museum at Broadway & Ann Street in New York City during the mid 19th century.
"It has become quite difficult to cross this street, and whenever attempted it is at the peril of your life or limbs."– William Bobo, Glimpses of New York, 1852.
This view of Broadway and Ann Street depicts the truth behind William Bobo's words. Horses and carriages are seen speeding through the snow causing great danger to all who dare to attempt a crossing.
"While attempting to cross this intersection, visitors often got separated from their parties, and their cries added to the chaotic shouts of the omnibus drivers and policemen. Musicians sometimes played on the balcony of Barnum’s American Museum, which overlooked this intersection and added another layer to the cacophony.' - MET Museum., Image Size : 512x780 (mm), 20.16x30.71 (Inches), Platemark Size : , Paper Size : , Coloring: Printed in Color with Some Hand Coloring, Medium: Lithograph, Categories: Views United States East;.
