View of the city's looking upriver from the riverfront of the Marigny plantation (not yet subdivided for urban development); vantage point is probably about the river end of Marigny Street is now or slightly down river. Seen are the Marigny sawmill canal (along what is now Elysian Fields Avenue), various sailing ships in the Mississippi, and the riverfront buildings of what is now called the French Quarter extending up around the curve of the river. Old rounded cupolas of St. Louis Cathedral seen in distance. Pedestrian and horse & buggy traffic seen on the leveefront river road.
