You are bidding on a large, mountable, 1899 NEW YORK CITY AND VICINITY MAP reproduced in black and white. This map is from a very rare 1899 atlas entitled "Third Edition, Pictorial Atlas of the Greater United States and the World", compiled especially for The Evening News Association, publishers of The Evening News and The Detroit Tribune, Detroit, Michigan. Description on inside cover front page says, “Being the first volume of its kind to bring the Old and New Possessions of our country to a close association and a prominent and conspicuous position worthy of their importance. Every foot of progress made in the New and Old World graphically portrayed in handsome reproductions of the latest Governmental Surveys and softest half-tones together with a series of magnificent pictures of the greatest climaxes in the Spanish-American War.” These are full and accurate maps, political and historical. Map is extremely interesting! This map has an index of Ocean Steamships in New York City in 1899, their destinations and places of departure! Map is 14 1/8 inches by 22 inches, with viewable area being 12 x 18 3/8 inches. Scale is not given but it looks to be that 1 inch equals about 1/4 mile or so. Map is VERY detailed, listing street names, businesses, railroads, cemetaries, schools, colleges, asylums, churches, hotels, parks, stations, islands, ferrys, and much more. Shows parts of Jersey City, Hoboken, Brooklyn, and Long Island City as well as Central Park, Ellis Island, Governor's Island, Hudson River Tunnel (in progress), Blackwell's Island, steam railroads, elevated railroads, and horse railroads. This map has two page numbers in one margin because it took up two pages in the original atlas. What appears to be a lighter area on the map is from camera flash. This map is a modern copy, is crystal clear, and is in mint condition. It deserves to be framed and would look great hanging in your office! Would make a wonderful gift! Comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Please see my feedback and bid with confidence! |
