Detailed double-page vertical format map of Manhattan and Brooklyn set within Johnson’s signature strapwork border. Parts of Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken and present-day Queens are included. Governors Island, Ellis Island, Bedloes Island, the U.S. Cob Dock, Ward’s Island, Randel’s Island and Blackwells Island (later renamed Roosevelt Island) are shown. Manhattan is shown from Battery Park to a few blocks above the North side of Central Park at 110th Street. An inset map in the upper right shows the rest of the island north of Central Park in a slightly smaller scale, with the present-day Bronx labeled “Westchester County.” Brooklyn appears prominently in the main map, shown from Greenpoint to the Greenwood Cemetery and from Red Hook to East New York Avenue. A heavy red outline separates Brooklyn from Flatbush and New Lots. The map is incredibly detailed, with individual piers numbered and many named. Also shows parks, squares, streets, ferry routes, railroads and “city car” (horse-drawn streetcar) routes. Wards are numbered and colored in shades of light and dark pink, yellow, and green. Footprints of some major buildings are also indicated, and institutional buildings on Blackwell’s Island are labeled, as are the major features of Central Park. A scarce, highly collectible piece of authentic American cartography. Beautifully clean with just a minor touch of toning to the paper edges. 17 x 23.25
