About This Item
New York: D.T. Valentine, 1864. unbound. View. Color ithograph. Image measures 6 1/4" x 3 1/2". Sheet measures 7 1/8" x 4 1/2".<br/> <br/> This small Civil War-era view depicts troops outside the N.Y. State Soldier's Depot. As described by Valentine, "the New York State Soldiers' Depot, located at nos. 50 and 52 Howard street, and No. 113 Mercer street, and established by the State Government as a temporary home or rest for furloughed and discharged soldiers, is now one of the most interesting and useful institutions in the city." A large American flag hangs from outside the building.<br> <br> 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 view provides a fascinating look at New York City.<br/> <br/>
