The other issue with the pic is the background. First on the left hand side the writing on the awning has been blurred, we should see more of an outline of words. Also, the other background items look more modern to me for some reason. And if I am not mistaken, NYC in the 1800s only had cobblestone roads, there were no concrete roads that I had ever heard of that long ago in the city. I know this because as a kid my father used to get a lot of the old cobblestones from new york city when the roads were torn up for modern alternatives. I thought this because I thought the side walk looked too precise and there is no curb to the street. My guess, modern pic to look old.
