Broadway meets Maiden Lane at this corner of lower Manhattan, where one of the city's main avenues crossed a narrow street lined with shops and offices. The shelflist card credits the print to the American Photo-Litho Company, a New York firm associated with photolithographic reproductions of city scenes, a process that allowed photographic views to be printed in quantity. The card records no date, so the exact year is uncertain, but the view reflects the dense commercial life of the period. The signs and crowded facades are worth studying for clues about the businesses that once lined this corner.
