The transfer print on this platter was adapted from a print after a painting by William Guy Wall (1792-after 1864), "New York from Weehawk." Weehawken, New Jersey, directly opposite New York's 42nd Street, was accessible by ferry from New York as early as 1700. It is famous for being the site of the 1804 duel in which Aaron Burr mortally wounded Alexander Hamilton.
