BILLING, Frederick William (1835-1914). Panoramic View of New York City from New Jersey. Graphite Drawing on wove paper. Signed and dated lower right: "F. W. Billing, 1856". 19 1/4" x 48 1/2" sheet, 25 1/2" x 55" framed. Very Fine large scale original drawing of Manhattan across the Hudson River. A truly spectacular panorama of Manhattan drawn from life in 1856 by noted German-born landscape artist Frederick William Billing (1835-1914), who settled in Brooklyn in that same year. The large view looks across and down the Hudson River from New Jersey as figures stand about the cliffs of the Palisades and Hoboken farmland in the foreground. Scant beginnings of Jersey City and Paulus Hook are seen in the lower right as the view fades into the distant Narrows. Recognizable landmarks appear on the New York side such as the Crystal Palace, Trinity Church and Castle Williams on Governors Island. A remarkable, skillfully rendered and completely original mid-nineteenth century view of New York City. of Manhattan from across the Hudson River, showing figures standing about the cliffs of the Palisade and Hoboken farmland. Jersey City is seen in the middle ground (right). Landmarks include Trinity Church and the New York Crystal Palace (destroyed in 1858; the Latting Observatory burnt down on August 30, 1856 and is not shown here). Born in Germany in 1835, Billing developed an interest in painting from a very early age, but never received formal training. In 1856, he emigrated to the United States and settled with his wife Wilhelmine Sickett (from Düsseldorf) in Brooklyn. The Civil War Records list Billing as a First Lieutenant and Quartermaster fighting in the 54th Infantry Regiment on the side of the Union. After the War, he opened a brokerage business on Wall Street. "By the mid-1860s Billing turned to landscapes encouraged by a German-American painter named Johann H. Carmienke, with whom he studied. During the 1870s most of his paintings were European landscapes he recalled from earlier travels. He also continued painting scenes in the New York region. He exhibited once at the Brooklyn Academy of Painting" (STEVENS). Billing died in Santa Cruz in 1914. Thomas Moran praised him as the most talented amateur painter he knew.
