This is just a great original piece. If you follow my store, you know I have been buying and selling these early 20th Century Pictorial maps for the better part of the last decade.  They really are one of my favorite area of map collecting as they always offer unique and different perspectives and tidbits of information about cities throughout the globe.  This seems to be one of the more rare ones I have come across, and also from one of my favorite cities.  I have been able to find only 4 other examples of this map and they are all in institutions.  You can see one of them on the site of the Brooklyn History in the Brooklyn Public Library.  And that one has a different title cartouche and that one was issued as a folded map.  This one was not issued that way but was rather issued unfolded.  A wonderful pictorial map in black and white on paper measuring 17 x 22 inches.  A very clean original.  There are some handling creases and some vertical creases as it looks like it was crushed a little when it was rolled.  There are a few edge tears but nothing too bad.  Map is partially glued to original backing but could be easily removed by a restorer.  Map is unframed.  It is stored flat and will be shipped that way.  FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES!  Do your own research on this map.  See if you can find another example.  Dont miss this chance.
