New York. Bird's-eye view of the southern portion of the city
"This picture shows the junction of the North and East Rivers, together with the present bridges connecting the city with the Borough of Brooklyn. It represents a true view of the 'down-toen section,' America's financial centre, and the headquarters of the commercial, manufacturing, shipping, mining and other interests. The city itself consists of five boroughs--Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, and covers and area of 326 3/4 square miles, with a population of 4,019,000 (according to the census of 1905)."--printed on verso.
