This 1870 auction catalogue from New York publisher Leavitt, Strebeigh & Co. offers paintings, watercolors, engravings and statuary belonging to Charles L. Frost, sold at Clinton Hall on Astor Place to collectors and dealers. Its one picture is a small engraved view of a large multi-storey stone building with a columned entrance, horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians on the street, a plain record of a mid-nineteenth-century urban auction house that a designer could use for period architecture or streetscape reference.
