Soft cover. Good. Wear along original fold lines. Slight loss at fold intersections. Text on verso. Size 21.75 x 13.75 Inches. This is a 1938 Fairmap Company pictorial map of New York City. The map depicts the city from the Hudson River to the Interborough Parkway between Brooklyn and Queens and from the Bronx to the Statue of Liberty. Created as a promotional advertisement for The Roosevelt Hotel, located on Madison Avenue and 45th Street near Grand Central Station, numerous tourist attractions and New York City landmarks are illustrated in profile and identified. Some of these include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Radio City Music Hall, and Grand Central. Other New York City institutions, such as Barnard College, Columbia University, the Cooper Union, and the Fraunces Tavern are also noted. The Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and Triborough Bridge are all illustrated. In anticipation of the 1939 World's Fair, the map shows the fairgrounds in Queens and marks the best automobile routes to them from Manhattan. Routes to the fair, and auto routes to the island of Manhattan from New Jersey and Upstate New York are shown with their ultimate terminus at The Roosevelt. Major streets throughout Manhattan are illustrated and labeled, including Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue, and 14th, 34th, and 42nd Streets. Express subway stops are also noted on the I.R.T., B.M.T., and Independent lines, although local stops are ignored. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Fairmap Company as a promotional brochure for the Roosevelt Hotel.…

Soft cover. Very good. Mounted on linen. Light wear along original fold lines. Size 13 x 12.5 Inches. This is a 1922 Regional Plan proof state infographic map of New York City, highlighting passenger rail traffic. The map is an early attempt to analyze the New York commute to better manage passenger rail networks. A Closer Look The map covers the five boroughs of the city along with portions of Long Island, Westchester County, and Connecticut. The contours and features of the land are faint, overlaid with more prominent lines and shading indicating passenger rail routes. A wider area of shading denotes more passengers in a given 24-hour period, and narrower shading illustrates relatively fewer passengers. However, all the lines thus represented carried at least several dozen trains in each direction in a given day. This system explained in a legend at bottom-right, reveals that the Long Island Railroad and New York Central were the busiest lines, while New Jersey saw a great number of passengers reaching Manhattan via a larger number of lines, so numerous and dense that color shading is employed here to help distinguish them. Historically, passengers crossing either the Hudson River or East River would need to disembark and take ferries to Manhattan, but the completion of rail tunnels under both waterways between 1906 and 1910 revolutionized travel, allowing passengers from distant parts of New Jersey or Long Islands to take one continuous train journey (on an electrified rather than steam train) into the heart of the city, at Pennsylvania Station ('Old Penn Station') (passengers utilizing Grand Central Station for travel to/from the north would have used the older Park Avenue Tunnel, which was upgraded and renovated around this time to also run electrified trains). The First Regional Plan for New York The impetus for the creation of the Regional Plan of New York was driven primarily by three factors: first, the greater affordability and mass adoption of automobiles in the 1920s; second, the explosive growth of New York City's population at the turn of the 20th century; and, third, the contemporaneous Modernist affinity for ambitious urban planning. Inspired by similar plans for other cities, particularly the 1909 Burnham Plan for Chicago, a group of business and civic leaders led by banker Charles Dyer Norton and the Russell Sage Foundation formed an advisory committee in 1914 to propose an equivalent project for the New York City metropolitan region. Delayed by World War I (1914-1918) and other obstacles, the committee nevertheless made progress, adding prominent members (including future President Herbert Hoover) and forming a permanent body in 1922. After years of research and discussion, maps, publications, and other media were brought to the public starting in the 1920s, especially the late 1920s. Although the Regional Plan was not associated with the legendary urban planner Robert Moses (1888-1981), their ideas were largely congruent, and the Regional Plan provided added momentum to the push for building highways (including parkways) in the city in a more deliberate and comprehensive manner. While the emphasis here is on passenger rail, the number of automobiles on the road was skyrocketing when this map was being prepared. It is worth noting that although the 1930s saw a deep economic depression throughout the country, many infrastructure and urban planning projects were undertaken in New York City during these years, leaving the city with most of the bridges, tunnels, and highways that it maintains today. Publication History and Census This map was prepared in 1922 by the Physical Survey section of the Regional Plan of New York and Its Environs. It appeared in the 1923 book Maps and diagrams showing present conditions, New York and its environs, March, 1923 , published by the Physical Survey. However, unlike the published version of the map, which includes a page number (p. 23) and a title banner, this example lacks those feature.…

Very good. Minor overall toning. Size 5.5 x 8.5 Inches. This is a scarce 1871 map of Herald Square in New York City by Kellogg and Pilat. The map shows the plans of improvement of the square located between west 34th st and west 35th st and between Broadway and Sixth Avenue. It depicts the location of trees and shrubbery within the triangular square. Herald Square, along with the southern Greeley Square form a bot-tie square in Manhattan. Named after the New York Herald newspaper, which was located on the square, it formed part of the old printing and newspaper district of New York. Soon the surrounding area became known as Herald Square. Today the square consists of tables and chairs, providing a rest area for the thousands of shoppers in this retail hub. This plan was created by Parks Engineer in Chief M. A. Kellogg and Chief Landscape Gardener I. A. Pilat for the First Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners of the Department of Public Parks for the Year Ending May 1, 1871 .…

Very good. Minor overall toning. Size 5.5 x 8.5 Inches. This is a scarce 1871 map of Greeley Square Park in New York City by Kellogg and Pilat. The map shows the plans of improvement of the park located between west 32nd St and west 33rdd St and between Broadway and Sixth Avenue. It depicts the location of trees and shrubbery within the triangular park. Greeley Square, located in the middle of the old printing and newspaper district, was named after Horace Greeley, the editor of the New York Tribune. The sculpture of Greeley would be erected years later, in 1890. Today the park is enclosed within wrought-iron gates with chairs and tables and serves as a rest stop for the shoppers that visit the neighborhood. This plan was created by Parks Engineer in Chief M. A. Kellogg and Chief Landscape Gardener I. A. Pilat for the First Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners of the Department of Public Parks for the Year Ending May 1, 1871 .…

Good. Backed on archival tissue for stability. Some creasing and toning. Two small areas of infill. Size 21.25 x 24 Inches. This is an 1873 Sampson, Davenport, and Company city plan or map of Albany, New York. A Transportation Hub In the second half of the 19th century, Albany became a major transportation hub. Four major railroad lines converged in Albany: The New York Central Railroad, the Susquehanna and Albany Railroad, the Boston and Albany Railroad, and the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad. Additionally, the Erie Canal's eastern terminus was in Albany, with vessels exiting into the Hudson River, and providing the city with unfettered access to western New York's rich raw materials. During the same period, these factored led to Albany's development as a major industrial and milling center. The city was home to the nation's largest lumber market (labeled here along the Hudson River as 'lumber district'), the second most largest publishing industry in the United States, major iron foundries, and numerous banks. Several buildings are illustrated and labeled, including the 'New Capitol', City Happ, and the Penitentiary. Streets are labeled throughout, and concentric circles marking half-mile intervals emanate from the center of town. Publication History and Census This map was published by 'Sampson, Davenport and Company' 'from official records furnished by Reuben H. Bingham' and printed by J.H. Bufford in 1873. Four examples are cataloged in OCLC: New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, the State Library of Massachusetts, and the Wisconsin Historical Society. References: OCLC 948810142.…

Very good. Size 13 x 10.75 Inches. This is an eye-catching example of Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr.'s 1866 city plan or map of New York City depicting Manhattan below 45th street. Surrounding lower Manhattan are the noted riverine features of the Hudson River, East River, New York Harbor, Buttermilk Channel, Newtown Creek, and Bushwick Inlet. Adjoining to the borders of the map are parts of Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Hoboken, and Jersey City. The surrounding neighborhoods and water features draw the viewer's eye into Lower Manhattan from a bygone era. Mitchell offers wonderful detail, referencing parks, streets, piers, railroads, ferries, and important buildings. A few noteworthy features represented in this piece are Ellis Island, Governor's Island, and what is now Battery Park, all of which have since undergone significant geomorphic changes. Within the boroughs of New York City, neighborhoods are color coded with red, green, and yellow pastels according to political divisions. The map is surrounded by an attractive floral border common to Mitchell's atlases between 1860 and 1866. This is a wonderful representation of one of the more attractive atlas maps of New York City to appear in the mid-19th century. Publication History Prepared by S. A. Mitchell Jr. for inclusion as plate 19 in the 1867 issue of Mitchell's New General Atlas . Like many American map publishers of this period, Mitchell did not regularly update his copyright, consequently this map is dated and copyrighted to 1860: 'Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1860 by S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the U.S. for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. References: Rumsey 0565.010. Phillips (Atlases) 831-16.

Very good. A few minor verso stabilizations on old fold lines and were formerly attached to binder. A couple small spots of soiling. Size 29.5 x 24.75 Inches. This is a 1953 Hagstrom indexed city plan or map of Brooklyn, New York City, and the immediate vicinity. A Closer Look Every street in Brooklyn is labeled, as are the streets in Manhattan up to East 25th Street and part of Queens. City blocks are numbered throughout, indicating the numerical address system used in most of New York City, especially the outer boroughs. Bridges, tunnels, ferry lines, piers, and other forms of transportation infrastructure are noted, including the Hudson Tubes now employed by the PATH trains from New Jersey. Subway lines are illustrated in red, with different symbols used to differentiate between the IRT West Side, the IRT East Side, the BMT, and the IND. Surface streetcar lines are also marked by thin red lines, while elevated subway lines are traced with solid black lines. The Long Island Railroad, running along Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn, is also noted. Parks are colored green, along with cemeteries, which are identified by small crosses. Prospect Park and the Botanic Gardens are depicted in some detail, with both the Central Library and the Brooklyn Museum labeled. Ebbets Field appears just east of Prospect Park; it was the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who, led by Jackie Robinson, were a perennial competitor for the National League pennant. An inset map at bottom-left displays Brooklyn in relation to other boroughs, Long Island, and other nearby areas. Along the East River in Manhattan are a series of large public housing projects, including Stuyvesant Town, Peter Cooper Village, the Gov. Alfred E. Smith Houses, and the Lillian Wald Houses. Although some predated World War II (1939 - 1945), most were built during or soon after the war, some with the intention of housing hard-up veterans. Brooklyn had similar housing projects, including the Williamsburg Houses, Red Hook Houses (the largest housing development in Brooklyn), and Kingsborough Houses, all noted here. Early Postwar Brooklyn Around the time this map was produced, Brooklyn had become completely filled in by urban development, with even neighborhoods distant from Manhattan like Sheepshead Bay and Canarsie being largely turned over to housing. On the surface, Brooklyn's population changed little as the borough had effectively maxed out the area available for housing, even considering the dense urban housing projects mentioned above. But in fact, the composition of the population changed significantly, driven by larger trends like the postwar baby boom and the Great Migration of African-Americans from the South. Then as now, the borough was defined by ethnic enclave neighborhoods, including a large Jewish population, both secular and observant, some strictly so, like the Hasidic communities of Crown Heights, Williamsburg, and Borough Park. The borough's landscape was also changing, driven by large-scale projects championed by the 'Power Broker' Robert Moses (1888 - 1981), including a complete redevelopment of Coney Island and a commitment to highways over mass transportation. The existing Brooklyn-Queens Connecting Highway was elaborated in the following years, including the highly distinctive and unusual cantilevered section covered with a pedestrian promenade in Brooklyn Heights, opened in 1954. Eventually, it would form the crux of Interstate-278, connected to New Jersey via the Verrazano Bridge, opened in 1964. Conversely, parts of the borough's economic and transportation infrastructure that had sustained it in earlier decades, such as the various subway lines, docks, warehouses, and military facilities, would begin falling into disuse and disrepair in the following years. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Hagstrom Company in 1953 (dated on the cover). The company published multiple editions of a similar map of Brooklyn between the early.…
