Squatter settlements

A sepia-toned photoprint depicting the intersection of Sixth Avenue and 57th street, with small frame buildings, fencing, and various people featured mostly on the upper right portion. This photograph's board is framed in a thick gold border with a text label of "Rockwood, Photographer, 839 Broadway, NY", which aligns with the studio location of famous photographer George Gardner Rockwood during 1869 and makes this particular photo likely to have been taken by Rockwood.
