A View of the City of New York from Brooklyn Heights, foot of Pierrepont St. in 1798 by Monsieur C. B. Julien, de St. Memin with a Pantograph invented by himself. New York: D. T. Valentine, 1861. Stunningly long view of New York Harbor from Brooklyn as it looked at the end of the 18th century. Shows Trinity Church, Wall St., St. Paul's Church, and the New York Hospital. Beautiful color. David Thomas Valentine (1801-1869) served as the Deputy to the Clerk of the Common Council for thirty-seven years and began publishing the "Manual for the Corporation of the City of New York" in 1841. The Manuals were directories of extensive historical and contemporary records of New York that included facts about the City of New York, city history, city council information, and reported on the progress of public works such as Central Park. Popularly called Valentine's Manuals, the texts were richly illustrated with maps, lithographs, and engravings. This is a wonderful example of his work.
