This early depiction of Broadway, New York’s major thoroughfare, looks north, from just below Canal Street. The print offers detailed documentation of the variety of businesses with storefronts along this section of the busy avenue in the mid-1830s, including the British College of Health, or Hygeian Depot; John Wright’s hat, cap, and fur shop; and Tattersall’s horse market, riding school, and livery stable. This print also shows the diverse array of horse-drawn vehicles that filled the streets—a fact noted by Charles Dickens in the published ruminations of his travels to America in 1842: “No stint of omnibuses here! Half a dozen have gone by within as many minutes. Plenty of Hackney cabs and coaches too; gigs, phaetons, largewheeled tilburies, and private carriages.”
