Original decorative pencil and watercolor design "New Netherlands" by famed artist Frederick Dana Marsh. Initialed F.D.M. on the recto and stamped on the verso "Fred Dana Marsh | Wykagyl Park | New Rochelle, N.Y."
<br></br>
This sketch ca. 1913 is likely an early conceptual design for one of six terracotta (15 feet wide and 10 feet tall) murals installed during 1912 in the Marine Grill of the McAlpin Hotel in Herald Square, New York City [1]. The murals are now displayed near the William Street entrance of New York's Fulton Street Subway Station [2].
