Color lithograph for Valentine's Manual. Street scene after the 1827 painting "Five Points" by George Catlin depicting the notorious early 19th-century New York City slum east of City Hall. In the foreground, large mixed crowd of men, women, whites, and African Americans, at the crossroads of Orange, Anthony, and Cross Streets. The streets, busy with people, are lined with places of entertainment, lodgings,
and grocery stores primarily selling liquor. Amongst the mayhem on the streets, a large brawl and several small fights occur, people are knocked over, couples stroll and engage in conversation, peddlers sell their goods, a woman pumps water, and pigs roam free.
