[Chatham Square, New York], 1853–55, Daguerreotype, Image: 8.9 x 12.2 cm (3 1/2 x 4 13/16 in.), irregular, Photographs, Unknown (American), This chaotic street scene shows Chatham Street, now Park Row, from below its intersection with Pearl Street, northeast to Chatham Square. Unlike the period's printed views, which were generally designed for clarity and filled with drafting table anecdote, this photograph shows the city as an inelegant confusion of traffic, commercial signs, and pedestrians
