In den WarenkorbA nice piece of London ephemera, the subject being Rotten Row, which runs along the south side of Hyde Park. 2pp, 4to. On wove paper with watermark 'J WILMOT / 1823'. Forty-one lines of text. Having been torn in two vertically (presumably by the irate recipient) the item has been repaired in an unusual way: with the two pieces s…ewn back together from top to bottom. Otherwise in fair condition, lightly aged and creased, with slight loss to one edge from breaking of seal or wafer. Folded for postage. No information is forthcoming about the author of the letter, but from the contents he is clearly not a Tory. The matter is one about which he clearly feels strongly, and the tone is verging on the obsessive. He begins: 'Sir / May I without offence be allowed to ask you a Question - for whom is the Expence for the repair of that matchless Ride from Hyde P[ark]. C[orner]. to Kensington being incurred? It cannot be for the Gentlemen who usually ride in the Park for they are now allowed to ride on both sides of the Road on the Grass - most carefully avoiding this Repaired Ride - Now after the handsome Grant that has been made to His Majesty [for] the Repair of his Castle and Parks, certainly some one ought [to] look after the People's Parks and a few hundred should be expended in beautifying and improving them. At this Moment the footpath parallel to this Ride is covered with Weeds and Grass the Bank of the Serpentine trodden in by Cows, and is in a most filthy state'. He complains that the public money spent on the parks 'is mostly to pay the Rangers, their deputies, &c. not for the Improvement of the Place which by a little attention might challenge any Public Row in Europe'. He continues with reference to: 'Keeping the Horsemen to theh Horseroad' and 'Ld. Sydney', and complains of 'the Many Right Honbles. [.] committing this trespass for the next 2 Months, for Trespass it certainly is, these Patricians have no more right to trample the Grass for 2 mo. than for the public in general have for the other 10 - Lord Northumberland is the person the Public understand to whom they are most indebted for this unkindness but it certainly neither shews taste nor feeling in his Lordship that because his horse may have a soft place for his feet the Dear little Children with their attendants are to be expelled from this favorite Spot during the most pleasant time in the Year'. After the two months 'his Lordship and his Companions' will retire, leaving the place 'like a Sandy Desert the Verdure all destroyed': they are 'permitted to deface the People's Park and they go to their ow where a Sheep is scarcely permitted to crop their pleasure grounds'. He suggests the erection of 'a rail running on both sides of the Road from H. P. C. to Kensington so as to exclude the Horsemen from trampling the grass'. He concludes: 'I live in the Vicinity and I can safely say that the footpaths have not been cleaned or in any way attended to for years'.

In den WarenkorbGood. Manuscript plan in ink on wove paper. Loss in upper area affecting border but probably none of image. Edge creases and short tears with no loss. Later pencil notations within image. Areas of toning, else very good. Size 18.25 x 26 Inches. This is an early 19th-century manuscript map of the City Hall Park area, New York Cit…y. It is an early 19th-century copy of a 1759 survey by Francis Maerschalk detailing the future City Hall Park and the area directly to the southeast. The survey fits into a gap in the mapping of the city between the 1755 Maerschalk plan and the 1760s plans of Montresor and Ratzer. A Closer Look The survey is oriented about 60° to the northwest; its detail is confined to the northeastern part of what is now City Hall Park. Its southern limit is the Common, whose northern extent is in line with modern-day Murray Street. (The street is not named; indeed, its eastern limit was Broadway, which is beyond the scope of the present survey whose western limit is marked 'John Harris' Ground.' This is roughly the location, somewhat east of Broadway, of where the Bridewell would later be constructed.) Its southeastern boundary is Park Row; here identified as 'Road from Spring Garden to fresh water'. Although doubtless, when this survey was copied, it was known interchangeably as Chatham Row or Chatham Street. The north is delimited by the city's palisade wall. The surveyed area is divided further by a handful of streets, two of which were named 'Barrack Street' in the original, inked hand; three small connecting streets are not here named. In addition to the city palisade, the survey places municipal and military structures: the almshouse, the new city goal (sic), and the new barracks. Several free-standing houses are depicted, two of which are named. Most prominently, a block of land broken into 32 lots for dense development has been plotted out. It is probably the survey of this land that is the specific object of this piece - both judging by the detail of the map itself and the title on the verso, 'Land on Chatham Street.' Elements of the 1755 Maerschalk Plan Maerschalk's 1755 'A plan of the city of New York from an actual survey' provides a useful starting point for the present work. Not only do the two share an author, but in the way these two pieces, just four years apart, illuminate the rapid changes occurring both in this specific area and those implied for the rest of the city. The 1755 map marks the location of the city common, the almshouse, and the city palisade. The almshouse itself is roughly equidistant from Broadway and the 'High Road to Boston,' which corresponds with Chatham Row/Street. While the earlier map delineates a broad lot inclusive of the alms house, there are no individual roads bisecting the land spanning from the Common to the palisades. Separate houses are shown, unnamed, along the Palisade and along the 'High Road.' All of these features can be identified on the 1759 map. Maerschalk's 1759 survey includes an array of features not appearing on the 1755 plan. A few of these may simply have been too specific to detail on a plan of the whole city, but others are included, which are known not to have existed when the 1755 map was surveyed and which certainly would have been included had they been there. None of the streets within the bounds of the survey - Barrack Street, nor the unnamed Tryon Row, Barley Street, or Potters Hill - appear on the 1755 plan. In the southwest corner of the surveyed area (the upper left corner) New York's almshouse appears as it does on the 1755 plan. Here, it is shown along with its work yard and burial ground: this latter was plotted out in 1757 and was a new feature at the time this survey was made. (It is not to be mistaken for the 'African Burial Ground,' which was several blocks to the north between Chambers and Duane Streets - outside the Palisade, that is to say, outside of city limits.) To the east of the almshouse is the New Goal (sic), which is the.
