New York: Ca. 1846. Wonderful engraved illustration of the West Village, depicting the large lumber yard at the corner of West and Horatio Streets in New York, on a handbill for Garret and Edward Green's Lumber Yard. In the foreground lumber is loaded onto horse drawn wagons; in the distance the yard is stacked with enormous piles of lumber, as ships unload at the dock.
