Description: Bryant3_166b 1872 Bryant print NEW ALBANY, INDIANA, #166b Nice view titled New Albany, Indiana, from wood engraving with fine detail and clear impression, approx. page size is 22 x 14.5 cm, approx. image size is 16 x 8 cm. From William Cullen Bryant's Picturesque America, published by D. Appleton & Co., New York. William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), the distinguished American poet and editor, practised law until 1825 when he switched avocations and became editor and finally owner of the "Evening Post". In 1872 he edited "Picturesque America" and was responsible for choosing artists rather than photographers to interpret the beauty of America. This beautifully executed steelplate engraving, exemplifies the high point of 19th century intaglio printing and is a testament to William Cullen Bryant's genius. New Albany city, seat (1819) of Floyd county, southeastern Indiana, U.S. It lies along the Ohio River (bridged) opposite Louisville, Kentucky. It was founded in 1813 by Joel, Abner, and Nathaniel Scribner, who named the settlement for Albany, New York. By the 1840s and early '50s, New Albany had become the largest city in Indiana and, because of its location just below the Falls of the Ohio and near abundant forests, an important steamboat-building centre (the famous riverboats Robert E. Lee and Eclipse were built there). The modern city's diversified manufactures include plastics, machinery, metal products, plywood, veneer, electronic equipment, fertilizer, and textiles. Indiana University Southeast (1941) is in the city. The boyhood home (built c. 1830) in New Albany of poet-dramatist William Vaughn Moody is preserved, as are the Scribner House (1814) and the Culbertson Mansion (1867–69), the former home (now a state historic site) of William S. Culbertson, a wealthy citizen. Falls of the Ohio State Park, in the adjacent community of Clarksville, contains extensive fossil beds. Clark State Forest is about 15 miles (25 km) northeast. Inc. city, 1839. Pop. (2000) 37,603; (2010) 36,372.
