Description
Antique lithographed birds-eye view / map of the area between Delaware Bay and New York city with a focus on the many beaches, coastal towns and inlets of New Jersey. Numeous connecting rail lines are shown in red, radiating from Philadelphia to the New Jersey beaches and outlying cities. Dozens of towns and beaches and lighthouses are identified. Key noted features and many nautical points of interest along the coast include: Cape Henlopen, Cape May, Smile Beach, 7 Mile Beach, Ludlan's Beach, Peck's Beach, Absecon Beach, Atlantic City, Long Beach, Island Beach, South Beach, Little Egg Harbor Bay, Barnegat Bay, Manasquan, Sandy Hook, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Coney Island, Dover and Princeton.
This original antique foldout map originally accompanied the Pennsylvania Railroad's annual excursion route guide: "Summer Excursion Routes". This interesting and scarce map is a documentary artifact for the railroad's enduring impact on the area. Decorative features on the map include a large inset of small gaff-rigged sailboats and smaller views of numerous small commerial and pleasure craft under sail and power in the waters of Raritan Bay and Delaware Bay. Matted and framed in old quarter-sawn oak mission-style picture frame in good condition. 2" mitered, beveled frame shows evidence of age on the back; front with one small chip as the only issue. Size framed is 19"Wx23"H.
