Brooklyn as the third largest city in the United States Folding lithographed pocket map with contemporary hand-colour in full, tipped-in to blue cloth gilt covers, some separations and toning at old folds. Dripps' first map dedicated to Brooklyn was published in 1864. Between then and when he published the current map nearly ten years later, the third largest city in the United States, as it was then, had grown exponentially in terms of both population and geography. In 1873 Brooklyn extends north to Newtown Creek, east and southeast to Flatbush, south to 59th Street, and is bounded by the Buttermilk Canal and the East River to the West. Wards are colour-coded and numbered, with the location of XXI, XXIII, XXIV and XXV being overstamped as subdivisions of the old 21st ward, which contained Bedford. It would be another 25 years before Brooklyn extended to include all of Kings County, and was annexed as a borough of New York. The map is extremely detailed, with all major and minor road and rail routes outlined and complemented by a myriad of ferry routes that connect Long Island to Manhattan and the mainland. The ghostly outline of the future Brooklyn Bridge, which was under construction from 1869, is a testament to the increasing number of commuters into Manhattan. Real estate ownership is meticulously recorded for all plots, large and small. Green spaces, including the relatively newly designated Prospect Park, are colour coded. A guide pasted to the inside front cover lists all the stops on the 'Horse Car Railroad Routes from Fulton Ferry'; the 'Horse Car Railroad Routes from Broadway Ferry, E.D.'; and the 'Brooklyn Central Elevated Railroad, Proposed Line', which includes a station for Brooklyn Bridge. Dripps is perhaps best known for his large and similarly detailed wall-map 'of the City ofNewYorkExtending Northward to Fiftieth Street', 1851, which was the first to show all real estate plots and is the forerunner of the lareg-scale fire insurance maps of Sanbourne, and Bromley of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Matthew Dripps emigrated to Philadelphia in 1843, from Belfast in Ireland (Philadelphia, A History of The City And Its People: A Record Of 225 Years, Volume IV Biographical, Pages 258-261. Matthew Dripps Family). He "was an unlikely man to stand at the beginning of such an important phase of New York mapping. An immigrant grocer with no training in geography, he established his map business one year after disembarking in America from Ireland" (Cohen & Augustyn, Manhattan in Maps, pps. 124-27).…

Authenticity & descriptions
The condition of all books has been described; all items are guaranteed to be complete unless otherwise
stated. We only sell genuine antiquarian books, maps, and prints. All items carry a full guarantee as to
their authenticity. A certificate to this effect can be provided on request. Dimensions are given height by
width of the book-block for books, and platemark, or, if this is not possible, printed image, for maps
and prints. Where indicated, original or contemporary colouring (i.e. colouring applied to the print or
map at or about the time of publication) will be so described. All other colouring will be colouring that,
in our opinion, has been added at a later date. All items can be assumed to be in good condition, unless
stated otherwise.

As our stock is always changing, items in the catalogues may have already been sold; if something you
want doesn¿t appear on the search page, then this is probably the case.

item outside this period. All we ask is that you return the item(s) by the same or similar method to that

immediately on our receipt of the items in the same condition as you received them.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
