Description
New York and Environs
This stunning bird`s-eye view of Manhattan depicts the island from the New Jersey shore. Steamboats, sailboats and galleons fill the waterways, and steeples punctuate the city`s skyline. The surrounding burrows of Hoboken, Brooklyn, and Queens are also shown. A decorative border surrounds the view, with numerous place names identified above and below. Lithographed by William C. Rogers for Joseph Shannon`s Manual of The Corporation Of The City of New York. This view is quite rare - we have only seen 3 examples offered for sale in the last 30 years.
Issued folding, now pressed with professional repairs to a fold separation and two tears that extend 1"" to 2"" from the central fold. A binding trim at left and associated 2"" binding tear have also been professionally repaired, with a small amount of border replaced in facsimile.
