Chromolithograph. Printed in color by Wm. Ells. Image size: 14 3/4 x 21 1/4 inches. Gilt frame: 26 1/2 x 31 inches. Grand old Federalist style building, which once stood at the foot of Broadway. The "Government House" as it looked in 1797, issued mid-nineteenth century. In the image is the signature of C. Milbourne, "Delin Et Excu'd," However, the credit for the image says it is "From the original drawing by W.J. Condit." This probably indicates that Condit drew the lithograph after Milbourne's watercolor done on the spot in 1797. The building stood on Broadway facing Bowling Green, the latter of which can be seen at left. The original watercolor was drawn on the spot, so despite being issued a half century later, this print gives us an excellent image of New York City at the end of the eighteenth century. Note the cows lying in the driveway. Ref: Stokes, The Iconography of Manhattan Island, plate 66. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 31688
