Item Details
Description
  • Title: Earliest Obtainable map of 1st Survey of Manhattan
  • Description: "Scarce and most important section of the three-panel lithographed folding map by D. T. Valentine in 1862, replicating the 1664 Nicolls Plan of Manhattan. In the mid-1660s, Richard Nicolls, the first English governor of New York, commissioned a survey of Manhattan and its surroundings. The map shows the beginnings of the settlement of at the farthest southern tip of Manhattan. This inset plan shows the street layout of New York when it was a simple village. This is a less well-known plan than the so-called ""Duke's Plan"", but it is quite important, and the key holds quite a bit of important detail. Both the Nicolls and the Duke's Plan were created around the same time, however, this Nicolls plan was created from original surveys, while the Duke's Plan was largely based on a 1661 map by Jacques Cortelyou. The original manuscript is in the British Museum, and, as noted in the upper right corner of this map, it was there that the librarian of the New York Historical Society, George H. Moore, saw it and had it copied in 1862. This is the first printed copy of the map available to collectors. Even though this is only one section of the original 1862 version, it is the only section showing a town layout—the other two sections show only water and land. Matted. 13.25 x 17.375."
