Its title, "New York, the Wonder City of the World," with the line "Travel by Train," marks this as a piece of travel promotion rather than a straightforward view of the harbor. Railroads and tourist publishers in the late 1800s and early 1900s often used colorful views of famous sights to sell trips, and the Statue of Liberty, dedicated in 1886 as a gift from France, was an obvious draw. Its place on the board suggests the statue is the centerpiece, so the print is worth viewing as an advertisement that presents the city and its landmark as the destination.
