Rare Color Image of the Old Croton Dam

There are many contemporary images of the old Croton Dam—engravings, lithographs and photographs—but this may be one of the few color depictions of the dam. This detail is taken from a chromolithograph advertising broadside (circa 1863-68) for the Croton Fire Insurance Co. in New York City.

These rare images are courtesy of George Glazer Gallery, which is offering this item for sale.
