of this
collection
(see
the
comments
given
there)
. The
sign-post
at the
left
is
that of the
Mansion
House
, at the
corner
of
Main

Crow

streets
appearing

St.
, and the
Terrace

was
2412
and
buildings
numbered
from
400
to
500
.
Two
different
lithographic
plates
of this
view
were
made
for this
work
. The
earlier
lithograph
, by
Catlin
,
may
be
distinguished
from the
later
plate,--made
by
another
hand
and
found
in
later
copies
of the
work,--by
the
Indians
standing
about
the
sign-post
at the
left
and
sitting
on the
adjacent
bank
, by the
primitive
type
of the
shipping
and of
conveyance
protrayed
, and by the
many
figures
of
pedestrians
portrayed
. A
copy
of the
work
with the
earlier
plate
is
in the
possession
of the
Buffalo
Public
Library
, the
Buffalo
Historical
Society
, and
