Description |
English: A beautiful example of S. A. Mitchell Junior’s 1866 map of New York City, New York. Depicts New York City along with parts of Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Hoboken and Jersey City. Offers wonderful detail at the street level including references to parks, individual streets, trains, piers, ferries, and important buildings. Colored coded with pastels according to city wards. Surrounded by the attractive floral border common to Mitchell atlases between 1860 and 1866. One of the more attractive atlas maps of New York to appear in the mid 19th century. Prepared by S. A. Mitchell Jr. for inclusion as plate 19 in the 1866 issue of Mitchell’s New General Atlas . Like many American map publishers of this period, Mitchell did not regularly update his copyright, consequently this map is dated and copyrighted to 1860: “Entered according to Act of Congress in the Year 1860 by S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. in the Clerk’s Office of the District Court of the U.S. for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. |
