'City Hall park, New York - It seems impossible that this triangular plot of ground, which now resembles an island surrounded by a tumultuous, roaring flood of human life, was at the time of the Revolution an open field outside the town!

Provenance: "Portfolio of photographs of our country and our neighbors – John Stoddard [includes pictures from Chicago World’s Fair]". Type: Antique halftone photographic print.
