Item description from seller

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Light toning. Minor closed margin tears repaired on verso. Reinforced where once attached to original binder. Accompanied by original binder. Size 16 x 19.5 Inches. This is a 1920 Union News view and map of the Boston Harbor from Boston to Provincetown. In the late 19th and early 20th century, such views were popular travel souvenirs sold at newsstands in train and ferry stations, as well as by newsboys onboard the trains and ferries themselves. A Closer Look The view covers all of Cape Cod Bay, Quincy Bay, and Dorchester Bay with the communities of Boston, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy, Hough's Neck, Mingham, Nantucket, Duxbury, Plymouth, Cohasset, Scituate, and Provincetown noted. Many of the islands in Boston Harbor, including Moon Island, Spectacle Island, Thomson's Island, Long Island, Governor's Island, and others are also labeled. An index in the bottom margin identifies 30 locations throughout the region. Ferry and steamboat routes are noted throughout. Publication History This view was copyrighted by the Union News Company and is based upon the late 19th century view of John Murphy. It was engraved and printed by the Federal Engraving Co., and published by the Union News Company, Boston, Massachusetts. 4 examples are cataloged in OCLC: Library of Congress, Boston College, the State Library of Massachusetts, and the Osher Map Library at the University of Southern Maine.
