Summary edit
| Description |
English: The New York Merchants' Exchange. Opened 1827, destroyed by the Great Fire of December 1835. Caption: "MERCHANTS ROOM, EXCHANGE. (Wall Street.)" Credit line: "Drawn by A. Dick. Engraved by J. Archer." Text (pp. 25-6) reads in part: "[This room] is in the centre of the building, and is eighty-five feet long, fifty-five wide and forty-five high.…Its ample floor is thronged with a crowd, whose low tones are blended into a subdued hum like the murmur of bees. Upon this spot often originate important commercial enterprizes [sic], whose results are felt in distant parts of the nation and indeed the world. Here foreigners and natives meet to make bargains and exchange news, and fortunes are built up and dissipated in a moment." |
