Plan of the ideal city Esperanza, designed by architect Pierre Pharoux for Edward Livingston, Brockholst Livingston, and John R. Livingston. With manuscript ink notations marking numerous plots "B" or "BL" (i.e., Brockholst Livingston) and "JRL" (i.e., John R. Livingston). The city was envisioned as the main port on the west side of the Hudson River for goods coming from western New York and beyond. The project was a speculative venture by the Livingston family, powerful New York landowners of the time. The area is now the modern village of Athens, New York. Drafted by Pierre Pharoux and engraved by Charles Balthazar Julie Fevret de Saint Mémin.
