Anthony Imbert
Anthony Imbert was a printmaker documented as professionally active in New York City between 1825 and 1828. His known work consists primarily of topographical and architectural views, providing valuable historical documentation of the city’s early Federal period development.
Imbert specialized in detailed renderings of contemporary public structures, often creating illustrations for publications such as Views of the Public Buildings in the City of New York. Notable surviving works include Phenix Bank, New York and The Branch Bank of the United States, Wall Street, New York, Erected in 1825. Imbert also documented civic events and urban planning, evidenced by titles such as Grand Canal Celebration: View of the Fleet Preparing to Form in Line and Design for Improving the Old Alm's-House, North Side of City Hall Park, Facing Chambers Street, New York.
Six prints representing Anthony Imbert’s documented career are preserved in museum collections, notably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These historical works, now often in the public domain, serve as essential resources for studying 19th-century American architecture and urban design, and are often made available today as high-quality prints for study.
