       Joshua Beal's view of New York City was shot in January 1876,
       after the photographer wrestled his heavy camera equipment,
       glass plate negatives, and tripod up the tower's thirty flights
       of stairs. He exposed five negatives to create a composite
       photograph. The resulting image provided a sweeping panorama of
       lower Manhattan's landmarks, including Trinity Church and the
       nine-story headquarters of the New York Tribune, in addition to
       commercial activity along the East River. Dominating the scene
       is the massive New York Tower of the Brooklyn Bridge, completed
       in 1883. Commercial signage along the sides of buildings may be
       seen, including "Harper's," "American Rubber Maint.," "Abel
       Bros. Iron," "Judd Storage," "Van Dyke's Hotel," "United States
       Bonded Warehouse," "Ferry from Roosevelt SINY," as well as
       Beal's enhanced handwritten caption information, "Clyde's Line
       from Phila."

       The Clyde's Line From Philadelphia was located at the bottom of
       Catherine Slip. This is confirmed in David Rumsey's map of the
       LES from 1890-1891.
