GLEASON'S PICTORIAL DRAWING-ROOM COMPANION - ORIGINAL, 1/2 PAGE, STORY & PRINT - SYBIL'S CAVE, HOBOKEN, N.J.
PRINT APPROX: 6 X 5 1/2. - SHOWS: SYBIL'S CAVE, AT HOBOKEN, N.J.directly opposite the south end of New York City, and is, together with
Staten Island, the quickest resort of the New Yorkers. You take the
ferry at the foot of Barclay Street, Canal Street, or Christopher
Street, and in five minutes you are in the country. Thousands visit this
"paradise of Gotham," daily. The shore is wild and rocky; it is
beautifully laid out into walks, promenades and parks, overshadowed by
the richest foliage. It has one or two churches, several first-rate
hotels, and contains a thousand or more regular inhabitants; it also
possesses a very large ship yard. The whole is owned by W. L. Stevens,
Esq., to whom belongs the immortality of not only making, but keeping
the finest spot adjacent to any city in the world. Sybil's Cave,
Hoboken, is one of the principal attractions of the place. No one visits
Hoboken without seeing it. It is hewn out and excavated from a solid
rock to the depth of thirty feet. In the middle is a spring of pure and
sparkling water, thousands of glasses of which are sold daily in the
summer, for a penny per glass. The cave was designed by the owner, W. L.
Stevens, Esq. In the engraving, Hudson River and Weehawken are seen in
the distance. The small building adjoining is a place for refreshments.
