Mannahatta/Manhattan

CLICK HERE FOR THE EBAY LISTING
“Mannahatta/Manhattan: A Natural History of New York City” is an exhibition that is currently on view at the Museum of the City of New York. This exhibition travels 400 years into the past to re-imagine what New York City might have been like when Henry Hudson landed on its shores in 1609. Manhattan was, believe it or not, a lush forest teeming with flora and fauna of all sorts. This engraving of New York City is a reminder that tranquility still existed on the island as late as the 19th century. Images of New York City's rustic past will always inspire wonder and awe in all those who are familiar with the hustle and bustle of this modern metropolis.
