• DESCRIPTION: This print, published in Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper in 1866, depicts the bustling wholesale meat and provision stands of West Washington Market, extending from Barclay to Fulton Streets. Once the largest and most vital market in New York City, yet often criticized as an eyesore, it played a central role in the city's food trade. Established in 1812, it was part of a network of major markets, including Gansevoort Market and the Fulton Fish Market. Despite multiple renovations, Washington Market was ultimately demolished to make way for new development, marking the end of a significant chapter in Manhattan’s commercial history.
