This etching is from a series of etchings produced by the New York Etching Club in 1887 and published by F. Stokes with text by Ripley Hitchcock.

The accompanying text mentions the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York Club, Delmonicos, Victoria Hotel, W. J. Worth Monument and Brunswick Hotel as well as commentary on the development of the city. It provides great insight into life in NYC during the later part of the 19 century. A strong impression.
