titled lower center
Clarence Eytinge was a lithographer with an office at 218 Fulton Street. His firm, Fern & Eytinge, published views of New York City in the 1850s, and his brother Sol Eytinge Jr. was a noted illustrator.
“Built in the late 1790s and remodeled a century later, No. 206 Front Street was the location of the Howell family businesses for well over 100 years. It first served as a grocery, providing staples such as flour, sugar, and spirits to customers who bought fresh produce at the Fulton Market. It later housed the Howell’s famous military store, one of New York’s leading suppliers of guns and gunpowder at the turn of the century,” according to the plaque on the building. The building is now part of Cannon’s Walk, a pedestrian area across from the Fulton Market in South Street Seaport.

- EARL E. COLLINS O/C MARINE SHIP PAINTING,
EARL E. COLLINS O/C MARINE SHIP PAINTING, DANMARKEarl Edward Collins (Connecticut/New York, 1925-1992) oil on canvas maritime painting depicting the clipper ship "Danmark," a Danish flag visible at the stern. Signed "Earl Collins" and titled lower right. Housed in a giltwood frame with textile mat and gilt fillet. Sight: 18 1/2 " H x 23 1/2" W. Framed: 25" H x 29" W. Note: The Danmark was launched in 1933 from the Nakskov Shipworks in Denmark to serve as a training ship for the Danish merchant navy. After 88 years in service, the steel-hulled, three-masted full-rigged ship continues to function as a training vessel for young people seeking careers at sea. The vessel has visited the USA on several occasions, especially the East Coast. The longest visit was from 1939 to 1945 during World War II when the training ship served under The Stars and Stripes. During World War II, Denmark became occupied on April 9, 1940, while the Danmark was on a routine mission in U.S. waters. In agreement with the Danish Ambassador to the United States, the ship's captain, Knud L. Hansen, placed his training ship at the disposal of the U.S. Government. However, U.S. neutrality prevented the acceptance of the offer until December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked. From that point onward, and until the end of World War II, some 2,500 U.S. officer cadets received first-class training in responsible seamanship under Captain Hansen's capable leadership and strict discipline. Later, the cadets would serve in the U.S. Navy. Source: South Street Seaport Museum.
