In October 1825 the Erie Canal opened, connecting the Midwest to New York City and an international marketplace. Activity along the canal, as depicted in the proof above, represented an enormous commercial opportunity and helped establish New York as a major capital of trade.

In that same month, Brown Brothers & Co. opened for business at 191 Pearl Street. The story of their enterprise is told in Two Centuries of Banking: The Enduring Partnership of Brown Brothers Harriman, open now through December 2.
