Hardcover. Very good. Some discoloration on verso. A few minor margin splits stabilized. Size 24.5 x 17.25 Inches. This is a c. 1912 promotional real estate broadside, consisting of excerpts from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle , promoting the Jamaica Bay Improvement Plan and associated developments around Jamaica Bay, New York City. The broadside illustrates ambitious plans to dredge Jamaica Bay, turning it into a massive seaport. Work on this project was underway but was terminated when the U.S. entered into World War I (1914 - 1918). A Closer Look The recto contains a bird's-eye view (drawn by Arthur H. Heiser) that originally appeared in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in April 1910. It illustrates Brooklyn and much of Queens, facing westwards towards Manhattan and the Bronx. The view depicts an imagined scene of what Jamaica Bay might look like once the seaport project reached compleation. The proposed development of 'Howard Estates' is highlighted, while an arc is traced through the city, noting real estate prices in different areas, with the implication being that the property value along Jamaica Bay would soon match or exceed that elsewhere in the city. The recto similarly borrows from a January 1912 illustration in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle that provides another perspective on the proposed harbor plan, this time as discussed by Ports Commissioner Calvin Tomkins, again with Howard Estates highlighted, though this time including a representation of the actual current state of the Bay as a shallow estuary filled with marshes. The Jamaica Bay Improvement Plan The Jamaica Bay Improvement Plan in the early 20th century was a major series of engineering and urban development projects aimed at enhancing the infrastructure, water management, and economic potential of the Jamaica Bay area in New York City, on the border of Brooklyn and Queens. The Army Corps of Engineers had conceived plans to dredge the Rockaway Inlet as early as 1886, but the plan was not pursued, given the remoteness of the area at the time. However, in the following decades, as New York City grew and was consolidated as the five boroughs, demand for increased port facilities seemed to justify such a project. In 1910, the idea of a seaport was revived as part of the wider New York State Canal System, meant to replace the Erie Canal. A pier was built, and dredging work began but proved difficult amid the fickle sand and tides of the Bay; the Long Island Railroad built a station and small spur line in anticipation of the project's ultimate completion, and some businesses and housing began springing up, with the same anticipation. A great deal of progress had been made by 1918, but the U.S. entry into the First World War suddenly halted the project after priorities shifted. In the late 1920s, the project was revived and gained political and financial support at the city, state, and federal level, with the LIRR again making plans to build considerable facilities in the area. But New Jersey was deeply opposed to the plan given its own developing port facilities, and the already powerful Robert Moses (at this time New York City Parks Commissioner) disliked the project and had Jamaica Bay designated as a park, effectively killing the port plan. For its part, Howard Estates never developed as intended either. The glove manufacturer William J. Howard had a goat farm in the area (which provided leather for the gloves), but he realized its potential as a real estate development and formed the Howard Estates Development Co. in 1909. Undertaking his own dredging work, streets were laid out, utilities connected, and a distinct neighborhood formed by the mid-1910s. However, the area did not see true urban development until the post-World War II period, by which time it was known by the less grandiloquent name Howard Beach. Meanwhile, the east and southern coasts of the Bay never developed the industrial facilities seen here. A portion of the Bay (seen here at the right) was later filled in to creat.…

Very good. Size 5.25 x 8.75 Inches. Maps of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, published in the 1905 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac . The maps date to soon after the Spanish-American War, during which both territories were annexed by the United States. A Closer Look The front (recto) is a map of the Hawaiian Islands, including an inset of Hawaii. Two notable features are the inclusion of sea routes to various points in the Americas and Asia, and indications on the Big Island of the direction of the lava flow of recent volcanic eruptions. The verso (back) is a map of the eastern half of Puerto Rico, that was evidently paired with a map showing the other half of the island on the opposite page. An inset map shows the islands of Culebra, Vieques, and other small islands off the east coast of Puerto Rico. A legend is included showing the notation for country (dirt) roads and 'macadamized roads,' an early form of paved road named for its inventor, John Loudon McAdam. The Height of U.S. Imperialism This map dates to a period, sometimes labeled New Imperialism or High Imperialism, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when European powers plus the United States and Japan raced against each other to establish colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other forms of control over extant independent regions of the globe. The Spanish-American War was a critical moment for the United States' entry into this contest. Not only did the U.S. seize the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba (granted nominal independence after the war) during the conflict, it also annexed the recently-established Republic of Hawaii, which had resulted from a U.S.-backed coup d'etat against the Hawaiian Monarchy led by Queen Lili?uokalani in 1893. Publication History and Census These maps appeared in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac, 1905 , published by the daily newspaper of that name. The maps themselves are not cataloged in the holdings of any institution, while the entire almanac is held by a handful of libraries in the United States and abroad. References: OCLC 1041673845.…

Very good. Original coloring, hand color on some roads. Size 24 x 20 Inches. This richly detailed map of Brooklyn was, in its first 1898 issue, the first map to show Brooklyn as a borough, in the aftermath of the city's annexation by New York City. The Brooklyn Eagle continued to include the map in its almanac as late as 1912 and possibly later, adding detail to the map as time progressed. Parks and Parkways We are aware of three separate printings of this map, of which this is the third. To its key has been added the following: NOTE: Purple lines indicate Parkways of Streets under Control of the Park Department Green Areas denote parks Among these, Ocean Parkway is prominently marked, along with Bay Shore Parkway and Highland Boulevard. Brooklyn's equestrian history is captured here just as it dwindled: the Brooklyn Jockey Club (between Gravesend and Ocean Parkway) would close in 1910; the Coney Island Jockey Club would be shuttered in 1911. The Brighton Beach Race Course was closed for horse racing in 1908; attempts at keeping the course going with automobile races would continue until the 1920s. (The 1898 issue of the map showed only dotted lines for these features, indicating prospective works.) There are more changes to the map than colored roads and parks, however: for example, the former connection of Seventh Avenue and Shore Parkway, which fell between Fort Hamilton and Dyker Beach Park, has been removed from the map: the lands associated with Fort Hamilton have been expanded and are marked a government reservation. A Wonderful Map of Brooklyn The map is expertly detailed, focusing primarily on all the mass transportation available at the time, showing existing and proposed streets and railroads, elevated lines, cable cars, trolleys and horse-trolley routes. The map shows and names piers, as well as ferry routes to Manhattan and New Jersey. The map was initially issued by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle , for inclusion in that newspaper's Almanac for the year 1900. (This strikes an ironic note, as The Eagle had opposed New York's absorption of the City of Brooklyn in the 1894 vote.) Publication History and Census Though he is not credited on this map, it was drawn by Robert D. Servoss - a New York Lithographer whose work for Edsall and other map publishers appears across a span of over fifty years. OCLC lists six examples of this separate map in institutional collections, albeit insufficiently precisely for determining specific state changes and dating. References: OCLC 58758680.…
