| Source | (November 19, 1831). "View of the Old City Hall, Wall St. in the Year 1789". New-York Mirror IX (20). Credits on the border are "Engr. on Steel by Hatch & Smille" (right); "Printed by J & G Neale" (right bottom); and "Drawn by Diedrich Knickerbocker, Jr." (a pseudonym of Washinton Irving; left). The accompanying article, "A Brief History of the Old Federal Hall", by John Pintard, is on page 153. It begins: "The old city-hall in Wall-street, at the head of Broad-street, has been faithfully copied from an engraving published by Tiebout, in 1789." A similar picture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, A Perspective View of the City Hall in New York, Taken from Wall Street, dated 1791–93, is marked "C. Tiebout Delineate & Sculpsit" on the lower right border. His dates are given as "New York ca. 1773–1832 Kentucky", but other sources give different birth years; e. g., "Cornelius Tiebout", Art Institute of Chicago, gives 1768. | ||
