Series II. Old New York, Volume II
Scope and Contents note
Series II. Volume II holds forty more engravings of similar scenes as those found in Volume I. The prints are numbered 66 through 110 and issued under a 1909 title page. The prints were made between 1905 and 1908, and capture historic places dating from 1626 (Fort Amsterdam) to 1859 (Washington Market). Again, most of the images are of places prominent in the 19th century, and include street scenes as well as houses, hotels, taverns, schools, churches, etc. Columbia College, the College of the City of New York, Bellevue Hospital, and Washington Market are prominent buildings pictured in this series. The prints have been arranged by print numbers found in the text pages of MCNY's Davies set.
Prints in series II are arranged by their numbers, which follows the order established by the text issued with the prints. Print titles in brackets and in italic are part of the original set but are not represented in this collection.
