100. SOUTH PROSPECT of the CITY of NEW YORK | BY WILLIAM BURGIS, 1717. Centre, within lower border, ornamental device enclosing dedication to Gov. Robert Hunter; below lower border twenty-four printed titles, numbered, and indicating points of interest in city, harbor, and Long Island. II x 374. Lithograph, one tint.

The original is in the possession of the New York Historical Society. W. L. Andrews [New Amsterdam, New Orange, New York," 1897, p. 62] says: "This is believed to be the first view of New York engraved in America and it is undoubtedly an entirely original production. The importance of this en

graving in the pictorial annals of our city cannot well be overestimated. It is beyond question, an accurate representation of the place it claims to depict and in the key at the foot of the print is embraced the name of every building of note of which the city at that time could boast." 101. VIEW IN NEW YORK, 1746. | (Lower Market.) Left: Lith. by Geo. Hayward, 120 Water St., N. Y.; right: for D. T. Valentine's Manual for 1858. Border of one line. 31⁄2 x 6; to border, 3 11/16 x 6%. Lithograph.

This view, like that of "The Ferry House, 1746 (Fulton Street, Brooklyn)," which appears in the same volume of Valentine's Manual," is taken from the Burgis view.

105. A copy of the preceding, with North America instead of America. EM. 2593 & 6970. This is essentially a close copy of the preceding; the differences are matters of technique mainly. For instance, there are none of the vertical lines which in the "London Magazine" print occur under most of the vessels. Shading almost obliterates the "21" near the lower right corner. And there is only one loop at the end of "America" instead of two. 106. A SOUTH PROSPECT OF YE FLOURISHING CITY OF NEW-YORK IN THE PROVINCE OF NEW YORK, NORTH AMERICA. Left: Copied for D. T.
