Description
Original title: "Map of the Borough of Brooklyn showing location of racial colonies." This is an enhanced, restored reproduction of a special map of Brooklyn, NY, showing locations of racial populations published 1920. Originally the map was a product of fear that certain "unassimilated" groups might have seditious sympathies ("The Red Scare") at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia . [Also see a similar map of Manhattan]. This map was a commercial edition based on state government maps produced by the New York State Joint Legislative Committee to Investigate Seditious Activities. Nowadays, the map can be viewed as reflecting the nation's ethnic and immigration heritage.
I have selected interesting, old 19th and early 20th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were then adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. The resulting image brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference and conversation piece. © 2019 for this restored reproduction.
