Légende

The Bowling-Green and Marketfield-Street, 1845. Fire in New York City. 'The fire then proceeded eastward along the middle of the block between Marketfieid and Stone, until it burst into Stone-street...Three hundred buildings according to the best calculation, have been levelled to the ground. Most of them were large three, four, and five story houses, and occupied principally by importing and other merchants. It is a close estimate to set the loss at from five to ten millions of dollars.' From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
