An original 1853 steel engraving map of New York City by George Hayward, published in Valentine's Manual, offering a fascinating glimpse of Manhattan during a period of extraordinary growth and transformation.
This detailed historical map illustrates Manhattan's expanding street grid, from the densely developed neighborhoods of Lower Manhattan to the largely undeveloped northern wards. Surrounding waterways and landmarks include the Hudson and East Rivers, Blackwell's Island (now Roosevelt Island), Ward's Island, and Randall's Island. A remarkable piece of New York City history, capturing the city's streets, waterfronts, municipal wards, and early infrastructure, with subtle period coloring highlighting important routes and boundaries.
In excellent antique condition, with original fold lines visible, consistent with its age and publication history. Presented in a protective mat with clear plastic covering.
Dimensions: 26¼ × 21 inches.
