In Dutch New Amsterdam, this location was a marshy valley called Smee’s Vly. When the city was under English rule, colonists in the late 1600s established a market here dubbed the "Fly." One of New York’s oldest and most vital marketplaces, the Fly extended up Maiden Lane from the East River and comprised three arcades—for fish, produce, and meat (shown here). Customers could expect a high level of quality due to the atypical degree of oversight provided by the city council that administered a small army of clerks, inspectors, and porters. To the left—at 197 Pearl Street—Chappel pictures the druggist J & T Schieffelin.

About this article

Legal note: We try everything in order to depict our art products in as much detail as it is possible and to illustrate them visually on the different product detail pages. However, the pigments of the printing material, as well as the imprint might diverge slightly from the presentation on the monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all color pigments are printed as exactly as the digital version. Because the art prints are printed and processed manually, there might as well be slight deviations in the motif's exact position and the size.
