Item description from seller

Farm line map of land in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, from Third Avenue to Sixth Avenue, 42nd to 59th Streets. Full original color by lot. Modern linen backing, some loss along left side and at upper right side, with loss of the original neat line at left side (provided in facsimile) and affecting a very small amount of text and map surface at the lower left. The overall appearance of the map is not impacted severely. This is one of the large, and now very scarce, which showed 17th and 18th century farm lines superimposed over the contemporary grid system. Very bright and colorful, these maps are among the most detailed 19th century maps for individual Manhattan neighborhoods. This map covers the territory on which were later built such iconic New York landmarks as Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the New York Public LIbrary (at the bottom edge). The southmost four blocks extend west to including Seventh Avenue and Bloomingdale Road (Broadway), such that Times Square is encompassed, though the lots to the west of Seventh Avenue are not shown. In spite of the small areas of loss, this is a wonderful map showing the origins of the heart of modern Manhattan.…
