Description |
English: A rare and beautiful example of J. H. Colton map of New York City and vicinity, including Manhattan as well as parts of Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken, and Queens. This is the third state of this map and one of the least common. In this variant Olmstead’s Central Park appears for the first time, but as the planning commission has yet to lay out the park, its interior is blank. This important map would become the template from which Johnson and late later S. A. Mitchell Jr. would build their own New York City maps. Beautiful hand color. Wonderful attention to detail includes individual streets and even important buildings and parks. Originally prepared as plates no 19 and 20 in J. H. Colton’s 1857 single volume issue of the Atlas of the World… . This is one of the few editions of Colton's Atlas to appear without the distinctive spiral-form Colton border design. Dated and copyrighted: “Entered according to the Act of Congress in the Year of 1855 by J. H. Colton & Co. in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.” Published from Colton’s 172 William Str. Office in New York. |
