A print from the first important marine atlas, American Neptune, presents a scene of British naval vessels sailing near rural Manhattan shores – ostensibly a peaceful and calm moment, but deceptively so, since it would only be a matter of months before resistance to British rule surfaced. The New York that we see through Des Barres’s eyes is over two centuries and a national history removed from Rhonda Schaller’s memento mori for the destruction of the World Trade Center, but contained in both works is the kernel of political struggle and tragic loss of life.
