The eminent burghers Manheers Tenbroek and Hardenbroeck disputing about the plan of the city of New Amsterdam ... / H. R. Robinson, lith., 37 Park Row, for D.T. Valentine's Manual.

Description:

Three men talk closely in an outdoor setting; the man at left is gesturing with his right hand.; Title continues: The one insisting that they should run out Docks and Wharfs; and the other that it should be cut up and intersected by canals after the manner of Old Amsterdam. The dispute ended in high words without coming to any conclusion on a subject of so much interest to posterity and was the cause of much bad feeling between the parties and their descendants ever after.; Disbound from: Manual of the corporation of the city of New York, 1850 (New York, N.Y. Common Council).
