The record gives only a general description, a tree-lined residential hillside with houses, so the picture's specific location is not named here. Panoramic views like this were popular from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, when photographers used wide-angle or multi-frame cameras to capture entire neighborhoods in a single sweep. Hillside streets in New York City, where rising ground gave houses a stepped, layered look, were a frequent subject. Worth noticing is how the rows of trees and roofs compress the landscape into a long horizontal band, a format that made the scene feel expansive to viewers of its day.
