This print shows a harbor scene from an elevated view. People are standing on a balcony overlooking the bustling harbor. Several ships are anchored near the shoreline or sailing across the harbor. The background features a distant cityscape with buildings and steeples. The sky above is filled with large billowing clouds. The color palette includes browns, grays, and blues, with some green plants lining a street in the bottom right corner. Text in the bottom of the image says "New York from Brooklyn Heights 1837."
