COLTON, Joseph Hutchins.
Colton's Map of New York and the Adjacent Cities.
An attractive and bright example of Colton's delightful plan of Lower Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs and cities. Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken are shown in some detail and there is an inset plan of Harlem - from Central Park north to 215th Street. The main body of the plan shows Central Park, and East and West 87th Streets, southward to The Battery and the financial district. The plan depicts parks, wards, prominent public buildings, railways and wharfs and has an ornate border design. J. H. Colton was one of the pre-eminent American map publishing firms of the mid nineteenth century.
Size: 440 × 685 mm. Original hand coloured lithograph. Minor repairs to the lower central fold, and staining to upper margin, otherwise in very good condition.
