1873 Appleton View of New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a beautiful view of New Orleans as seen from its southern dock section issued by Appleton in 1873. It features a view of the harbor filled with several ships, boats and ferries. In the foreground, we see the dock with boats anchored, merchants engaged in trade and men resting among various goods. The view was drawn by A. R. Waud and engraved by D. G. Thompson and ‘Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1873 by D. Appleton and Co. in the Office of the Librarian of Congress of Washington’.
