One of three American city views published in the London Magazine in 1761 and 1762, this attractive panorama was based on a much earlier engraving by William Burgis showing the city in 1716 and published a few years later.

Original engravings for these smaller facsimiles were made available through the courtesy of The Old Print Gallery of Washington, D.C.
