Albumen print cabinet-format view of the St. Cloud Hotel at the corner of Broadway and 42nd Street, New York City, issued by More & Holley, circa 1860s–1870s. The image shows the full multi-story Second Empire–style hotel block, photographed from street level, with awnings extended along the ground-floor façades and streetcar tracks visible in the foreground.

The St. Cloud Hotel was one of the earliest large hotels developed along upper Broadway and played a central role in establishing the 42nd Street corridor as a commercial and hospitality district before the rise of Times Square. Opened in the late 1850s, the hotel was widely advertised for its modern accommodations and location near major transit lines, making it a frequent subject for souvenir and promotional photographs.

The photograph is mounted on a printed card bearing the full imprint “St. Cloud Hotel, More & Holley, Broadway, corner of 42d St., New York.” The format and typography are consistent with period-issued cartes de visite sold to visitors and residents as architectural views of prominent New York landmarks.
