Description
Restored beautifully detailed New York City map. Note how the map gives locations of hotels, theaters, railroad route, and interesting places such as a "lunatic asylum," a penitentiary, an alms house, and the location of ship line piers. The Brooklyn Bridge is the lone bridge. Roosevelt Island was known as Blackwell's Island. The map serves as a valuable historical reference.
Originally from: Pennsylvania Railroad to the Columbian Exposition, With Descriptive Notes of the Cities of New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago; And a Complete Description of the Exposition Grounds and Buildings. Publication date: 1892. The map originally folded out of the guide book.
I have selected interesting, old 19th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes.
