Item description from seller

Map. Hand-colored lithograph. 39.5" x 28", (set of 2). New York: D. T. Valentine (1860). This fantastic large scale set of two maps of New York City and its surrounding areas was originally prepared for the 1860 edition Valentine's "Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York," a richly illustrated collection of facts and statistics related to the city. It depicts Manhattan Island at the center from the Battery up to lower Westchester and the Bronx. Around Manhattan are the waterfront areas of Brooklyn, Astoria, Hoboken and Jersey City. Overlaying the grid are the names and tracts of Manhattan's original land owners, as well as scattered individual buildings. Wards are in color and there are ferry routes, depths in sounding and a 'proposed prospect park' in Brooklyn. Printed in two sheets, Original folds as issued, with some wear along folds but otherwise in very good condition, can be joined into one large map. Must be seen to be appreciated. Mathew Dripps was from Ireland. He became a prominent map publisher based in lower Manhattan and is remembered most for his maps of New York City. His maps are hard to find.…
