Huge original antique engraving print from an 1850s illustrated journal. This antique print depicts the interior of the United States Custom House, sometimes referred to as the New York Custom House. It was the place where federal customs duties on imported goods were collected in New York City. The building at 26 Wall Street (New York Financial District) was designed by John Frazee, and today is designated Federal Hall National Memorial.

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.


The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
