Framed as a destination for rail passengers under the slogan "The Wonder City of the World," this piece presents New York as a trip worth taking by train. Illustrated views like this were common in the decades around 1900, when railroads and their promotional booklets courted travelers from across the country. The Statue of Liberty, which the board groups this picture under, had stood in New York Harbor since its dedication in 1886 and had become one of the city's best-known symbols. Pieces like this show how the city was marketed to visitors before air travel and the automobile reshaped how people arrived.
