Lithographed in Boston in 1873, this view shows the new home of the New-York Tribune, which the print's caption calls the largest newspaper office in the world and the highest building on Manhattan Island. The paper was founded by Horace Greeley in 1841, and its new building rose on Printing House Square, the cluster of streets near City Hall where most of New York's major newspapers had their offices. H. Claussen, whose signature appears on the stone, drew the building from its street corners, so the print shows how the tower stood out over the surrounding lower buildings.
