Artist:	Hollyer, Samuel (London, 1826 - New York, 1919)
Date:	1905
Medium:	Original Engraving
Note:	Samuel Hollyer: Born in England, Samuel Hollyer studied engraving techniques under Edward and William Finden. He first came to the United States in 1851 and was commissioned by various New York City publishers. He twice returned to work in England, for periods of two and six years, before settling permanently in New York in 1861. For more than the following fifty years Samuel Hollyer created many fine engravings mezzotints and etchings. He was equally well respected for his topographical views, portraits and ex-libris plates.
	Samuel Hollyer began perhaps his most important contribution to the arts at the age of seventy-five. From 1901 to 1912 he created at least 141 historical engravings of New York concentrating upon scenes and buildings that were mostly no more. Churches, markets, taverns, houses, public buildings and other institutions were depicted from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries. Each engraving was issued separately in small, hand-signed editions and collected by antiquarians and such prominent New Yorkers as J. Clarence Davies.
	Today the art of Samuel Hollyer is included in such major collections as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Extensive collections of Hollyer's Old New York views will be found at both the Museum of the City of New York and the New-York Historical Society. The New-York Historical Society has recently published a useful research paper entitled, Guide to Samuel Hollyer's Old New York Views *
	Union Square and Broadway, 1849 is listed in this guide under number 105.
