Scope and Content
The Prints Collection covers more than a century of Brooklyn history, with prints depicting
historic people, structures and events in Brooklyn from the era before the rise of photography.
Many of these prints come from popular magazines and journals of the 19th century, including
Harper’s Weekly, Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, and Scientific American. Many are also derived from
Henry R. Stiles’ three-volume work, A History of the City of Brooklyn. (See “Related Materials” for
bibliographic information.) The bulk dates of the collection are 1884 – 1904; images dated after
1930 are generally reprints of 19th century prints.
