Map
Full period color, 17 x 20 1/2 inches, folding into gilt-stamped brown leather covers. Statistical table laid down on inside front cover. Five insets (see below). Minor repairs. This is the second pocket map edition of D. H. Vance's map of New York State with the imprint of S. Augustus Mitchell. Mitchell had purchased the plate from Anthony Finley in 1831, removed Vance's name, added a new border, and included it in his edition of the A New American Atlas (1831). The map was first issued as a pocket map by Mitchell in 1832. With the 1832 edition, Mitchell replaced the inset, "Profile of the Erie Canal," with four insets: "Vicinity of Albany," "Vicinity of New York," "Vicinity of the Falls of Niagara" and "Vicinity of Rochester." With this 1834 edition the statistical table at right was replaced by an inset "Map of the Hudson River." Numerous new towns are present throughout, and distances in miles along roads between towns have been added. New York's first railroads are also included for the first time. The title has been moved from the upper left to the lower left corner. This edition is not listed in Rumsey nor in Phillips.

By: William WilliamsDate: 1828 (dated) Utica, NYDimensions: 20 x 28.5 inches (51 x 71.5 cm)A scarce and early-19th century travelers map of New York State made prior to the implementation of railroads when stage, canal, and steam-boats were the most efficient methods of travel.This map is an importantrelic of New York history, published just three years after the first boat made the trip from Lake Erie along the newly constructed Erie Canal to New York City in 1825. This connection, along with the natural waterway of the Ohio River would prove vital for the transportation of goods and raw materials to Chicago and the western frontier. At its peak in 1855 alone, some33,000 commercial shipmentsutilized the canal. This map features a large profile and description of the canal as well as a smaller profile of the Champlain Canal. The right hand portion of the map details distance and times of travel throughout the state via stage, canal, and steamship.The map was originally issued folded, now flattened and without its original covers. Counties are were carefully color-coded by hand with towns, cities, roads, canals, rivers, and streams shown in fine detail. Anmix of fonts make a lovely title cartouche that pays homage to early 19th Century Americana.Condition: This map is in A condition with some light paper toning along folds and where the piece was once adhered to cover boards.

Map First Edition
Very good. Steel plate printing on onion-skin paper. Wear and toning along some old fold lines. Archival verso reinforcement at most fold intersections - a few minor points of infill at the same. Accompanies original binder. Size 36 x 48 Inches. This is J. H. Colton's impressive large-scale 1852 map of Brooklyn and Williamsburg. In its 1839 first edition, it is the Brooklyn equivalent to both the 1811 Commissioner' Plan and Colton's great 1836 map of Manhattan, and as such can reasonably be considered the most important and best map of Brooklyn to appear in the 19th century. The present map, 1852, is, in so far as we can tell, the third edition, retaining much of the significance of the first, while also featuring fascinating updates illustrating the break-neck pace with which Brooklyn was then urbanizing. Creating Brooklyn This map was first issued in the wake of a February 28, 1839 New York State legislative act validating the work of Brooklyn Street Commissioners John S. Stoddard (surveyor and engineer), Alonzo. G. Hammond (commissioner), Samuel Cheever (commissioner), and Isaiah Tiffany (commissioner). These individuals were appointed four years earlier, in 1835, and dedicated the intervening years to completing a comprehensive plan for expanding urbanized Brooklyn by breaking up old estates and farms into streets, avenues, and property lots. The Act passed in 1839 confirmed their work as the official map of Brooklyn - this map by Colton closely followed, representing the earliest published official map of Brooklyn. In the first edition, Stoddard, Hammond, Cheever, and Tiffany are named. In subsequent editions, as here, they are named simply as 'the Commissioners'. It is likely that their names were removed due to criticism that made their names unpopular. A Bit of Controversy The publication of this map in 1839 was the cause of considerable controversy. Hammond, who drew the map, initially submitted the copyright on his own behalf, before transferring it to Colton. It was argued that by doing so he violated the rights of the city of Brooklyn. He defended himself in the Long Island Star , While the laying out of the city was in progress, very many highly respectable citizens were in the frequent habit of calling upon Mr. Hammond at his office, and enquiring how they could obtain a map when the work was completed, and if one would be published? Under these influences Messrs Hammond and Stoddard entered into an arrangement by which the former was to secure the copy right for their mutual benefit, and the latter was to furnish a manuscript, and to unite their exertions to procure the publication of such a map In doing this no pecuniary motive had influence and feared they might sustain a loss [believing] that none but a map publisher could safely publish with the prospect of covering expenses they transferred all benefits of the copy right to Mr. Colton of New York, a justly celebrated publisher The city of Brooklyn, as such, could never publish a map for the use of the citizens without expenditure far above their receipts. ('Long Island Star', March 14, 1839) A Closer Look Oriented to the southeast, coverage embraces only a small part of modern-day Brooklyn, including Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Red Hook, Gowanus, Park Slope, Greenwood Cemetery, the Navy Yard, and Sunset Park. Southern Manhattan and Governors islands appear at the base of the map. Concentric circles in quarter-mile increments illustrate distances from the Battery, underscoring Brooklyn's deep and long-standing connection to Manhattan - even though at the time they remained separate cities. The map also meticulously notes swamp lands and drainage areas of natural ponds and rivers, including some that remain (if much changed) like Gowanus Creek and Bushwick Inlet, and others, like Freek and Denton's mill ponds, which have long been drained. Brooklyn Farm Lines Like Manhattan during his same period.
