This hand-colored engraving, after a painting by William Hart, is from the portfolio Gallery of Landscape Painters—American Scenery published in New York by G.P. Putnam & Sons in 1872. The view is looking southwest from what we know today as Finney

Farm Road. Croton Point is jutting out into the river and the Palisades can be seen in the distance. William Hart came from a family of artists. His sister, Julia Hart Beers, painted a very similar view of Croton Point. Although the publication of

this engraving was 1872, the copyright was 1869—the same year attributed to his sister’s painting. Perhaps they climbed the hill together, each recording the beautiful vistas they saw below. This image is courtesy of The Old Print Gallery in

Washington, D.C., which is offering this print for sale. Share this: Print (Opens in new window) Print Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on
