Gezicht op New Orleans 1850 - 1855

"Gezicht op New Orleans" (View of New Orleans) is a lithograph created by Bernhard J. Dondorf between 1850 and 1855. The print depicts a panoramic view of New Orleans, with the Mississippi River in the foreground and the city skyline stretching out behind it. Ships are docked along the riverfront, and the details of the buildings and streets of the city can be seen in the distance. The print captures a bustling port city during the mid-19th century, highlighting the importance of New Orleans as a major center of trade and commerce. This work is a great example of the cityscapes genre, often used to represent the growth and prosperity of urban centers.
