Description: This view of Lower Manhattan, from across the East River, includes church spires, warehouses and the densely clustered masts of anchored ships. In the middle ground paddle steamers and sailing ships ply the river and, in the foreground, eight people sit and stand on a strip of grass along Brooklyn Heights.When Frances "Fanny" Flora Bond Palmer moved to New York from England in 1844, she already was an accomplished artist and printmaker. Palmer and her husband Seymour initially operated a small printshop in lower Manhattan. By the time their business closed and they moved to Brooklyn in 1849, Nathaniel Currier was commissioning drawings from Fanny. After Currier & Ives was established in 1857, Palmer was hired as a staff artist and became one of the leading women lithographers of the 19th century. This print is one of her first for Nathaniel Currier.
