VIEW OF NEW YORK FROM THE EAST
This view looking along the shore of the East river appears to have been taken from a point near the corner of the present Fulton and Water streets It shows the north side of the dock the water gate from the north and the shipping The church and Stadthuys are not distinctly seen as the sketch was probably taken from near the water level A portion of this sketch has been used in compiling the view on plate IX.
Broome Street, Manhattan. October 9, 1935.

Welcome to the blog of New York Diaries: 1609-2009. We hope that site will grow into an evolving conversation about The City as seen through the eyes of over 160 diarists who have kept daily journals over the past four hundred years. I encourage you to contribute your own thoughts, your own photos and even entries from old family diaries that you might still have in your attic. Please click here to contact me.
