unbound. Map. Original lithograph. Image measures 7 1/4" x 14 3/4". This scarce and important map of New York City as it appeared in 1729, was issued in the 1850 edition of D.T. Valentine's "Manual of the Common Council of the City of New York". Survyed by James Lyne, it is known as the Bradford Plan and depicts an early colonial street layout of downtown Manhattan. Reverend John Miller, a chaplain to the British garrison in New York, originally made detailed observations of the city during his three-year stay. However, during his return voyage to England, his ship was captured by French privateers. To prevent his detailed notes and drawings from falling into enemy hands, Miller was forced to throw all his original work overboard. Miller was then taken prisoner by the French and detained in a French prison. Despite these difficult conditions, he covertly redrew the entire map from memory, a challenging task given the complexity of the city's layout and fortifications. Due to the circumstances under which it was recreated, the map contains several inaccuracies, particularly in the labeling of streets. For instance, Miller mislabeled present-day William Street as Kings Street and Cedar Street as Smith Street, which were known by different names both before and after his time. Despite these errors, the map is valuable as it remains the sole source for some street names and provides a detailed depiction of New York's fortifications during a period of heightened tension between Britain and France. The inaccuracies are understandable given that the map was drawn entirely from Miller's memory after the traumatic experience of being captured and imprisoned. This map is copied from a map in the "Description of the Province and City of New York.1695" by the Rev. John Miller, first printed from the original manuscript by Thomas Rudd, , a London bookseller. Miller's manuscript is now housed in the British Museum. The "Manuals of the Corporation" were directories of extensive historical and contemporary records of New York first compiled by D.T. Valentine. These books include detailed information on the meetings of the Aldermen Council, ordinances passed, public officials, the city's debts, directories of hospitals, alms houses and schools, ferry schedules, lists of public porters, demographics and census information, and descriptions of historic buildings and streets. Much of the information was gleaned from Dutch and English sources, as processed by Valentine. D.T. Valentine (1801-1869) served as the Deputy to the Clerk of the Common Council for thirty-seven years and took it upon himself to compile the "Manuals", which he updated and published annually from 1841-1866. Joseph Shannon succeeded Valentine as Clerk and published the manuals for 1868 and 1869. The final edition of the manual was published by John Hardy. It is an excellent source of early New York City history.…

unbound. Map. Uncolored lithograph. Image measures 16" x 20 1/4" inches. This 1853 reissue of the famous 1803 Mangin-Goerck Plan of New York City offers a captivating look into early urban planning. Originally commissioned by the City of New York after the American Revolution, this map proposed an idealized grid for the rapidly growing city. Only a few copies of the original map survived. It includes notable features such as references to 45 buildings, the City Seal, and detailed private dock notations along the East River. Casimir Goerck and Joseph Francois Mangin intended this map as the city's first real estate plan, depicting an idealized vision rather than an accurate layout. While largely rejected at the time, the plan influenced later developments in lower Manhattan. Highlighting key landmarks, projected expansions, and streets-some of which never materialized-the Mangin-Goerck Plan ultimately became the de facto blueprint for parts of the city, playing a significant role in New York's cartographic history. The map is in very good condition with minor toning. The "Manuals of the Corporation" were directories of extensive historical and contemporary records of New York that included facts about the City of New York, city history, city council information, and reported on the progress of public works such as Central Park. First compiled by D.T. Valentine and popularly called Valentine's Manuals, the texts were richly illustrated with maps, lithographs, and engravings. These books include detailed information on the meetings of the Aldermen Council, ordinances passed, public officials, the city's debts, directories of hospitals, alms houses and schools, ferry schedules, lists of public porters, demographics and census information, and descriptions of historic buildings and streets. Much of the information was gleaned from Dutch and English sources, as processed by Valentine. By this date in the publishing of the manuals - the first was released in 1841 and the last in 1870 - the volumes had become extremely lavish, filled with illustrated and full-color folding maps.

unbound. Map. Vintage reproduction, circa 1970. Sheet measures 24" x 29 1/4" This wonderful and famous map of the Manhattan was included in the 1859 edition of Valentine's Manual of the Corporation of New York. Considered a kind of trophy of the English conquest in 1664, the map depicts the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam in its final moments, as it was in 1661. It's name refers to James, the Duke of York, who was gifted the colony by King Charles II, his brother. "The Duke's Plan was rediscovered in 1858 by George H. Moore, librarian of the New York Historical Society, after lying unobserved for nearly two centuries in the British Museum."
