[NEW YORK]. BENNETT, William J., engraver. CLOVER, Lewis Peter, publisher. after Nicolino CALYO (1799-1884), artist. View of the Ruins after the Great Fire in New York. Decr. 16th & 17th 1835. As Seen from Exchange Place.

The Great Fire of New York ignited on the evening of 16 December 1835 in a warehouse at 25 Merchant Street (now Beaver St.) and was quickly spread by gale-force winds. The conflagration, which claimed 2 lives and hundreds of buildings over 17 blocks, was reportedly visible in Philadelphia.
