Item description from seller

Brooklyn, NY: Gaylord Watson / Moller & Schumann, 1881. Original engraved hand-colored map (ca. 40.5x60cm) folded into original blue-green pictorial card wrappers (16x10cm); map verso provides a complete catalog of the varnishes manufactured by Brooklyn company Moller & Schumann. Minor wear and scattered spotting to wrapper margins, brief split to a couple map folds, else a Very Good or better, bright and sound example. Useful map to the New York City-holiday seeker with railway lines to all the surrounding resorts and hotels of the area. Issued as a sort of premium by the lacquer manufacturers in charmingly illustrated wrappers depicting a man surprised by a bulldog while pasting signs to a wooden fence--his bucket and brush are clattering to the ground as he hurdles over the fence in fright. The signs he has mounted all feature promotional text for Moller & Schumann products: baking varnishes and Japans, turpentine lacquers for canned goods and tinware, etc. The center sign reproduces a letter from the Department of State awarding the company a certificate from the Sydney International Exposition of 1879.…
