A view of The High Bridge, as it looked in 1844.

The Graphic Arts Division of the WPA was among the most active... by far the largest was the workshop in New York City, which is estimated to have produced around 75,000 prints.

The painting "offers a lively view of the streets’ low brick buildings against which the quotidian experiences of nameless New Yorkers unfold."
