He stayed until 1820 and sent home twenty-five illustrated letters. He protested the pigs left free in the streets, which he considered a health hazard. The pigs remained: in 1842, while walking along Broadway, Charles Dickens saw two trot behind a carriage, \"two portly sows,\" two well-fed sows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe view looks north from St. Paul's Chapel, a fluted column of which can be seen on the left, to City Hall, the municipal building constructed between 1803 and 1811 based on a design by Joseph François Mangin and John McComb Jr. Klinckowström drew a cross on the dome that was never actually there: it held a statue of Justice. Below runs the Swedish title, \"Brodway-gatan och Rådhuset i Newyork\". The aquatint is by Carl Fredrik Akrell, for the atlas that accompanied the \u003cem\u003eBref om de Förenta Staterna\u003c\/em\u003e, the letters printed in Stockholm in 1824; the copy we reproduce belongs to the David Rumsey Map Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who left their heart in Manhattan, it is the perfect gift, to hang in an entryway or next to a bookcase.
