The Harsen Homestead, Corner of 10th Avenue and 70th Street (from Scenes of Old New York) 1876

"The Harsen Homestead, Corner of 10th Avenue and 70th Street" is an etching by Henry Farrer, part of his series *Scenes of Old New York*. The detailed black and white drawing depicts a two-story wooden house, likely a dwelling from the mid-19th century. Smoke billowing from the chimney suggests domestic life, while bare branches and a wooden fence frame the structure. The etching provides a glimpse into the landscape of New York City before skyscrapers dominated the skyline. Farrer's work, created in 1876, offers a nostalgic perspective on the city's past.
