Genuine Antique Bird's Eye View Map

c. 1930

Maker: C.S. Hammond & Co..

Rare and extraordinary Bird's Eye View Map of New York to Boston, a broad vista showing the Hudson River, Long Island, Manhattan, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, with lovely detail, showing steamship lines, lighthouses, waterways, landmarks, and noting major points of interest. This map was published during a time of change in the way American traveled: for many years long distance travel was done primarily by boat or train, so this map includes railroads and steamship routes, but with the rising popularity of automobiles, some major roads are included in white.  Folding map, good antique condition, with folds as issued, some mild wear along the folds. We will be trying to smooth the creases of the folds with time. Measures approx. 9.25 x 27.75 inches to the edge of the image or 10.75 x 29.25 inches to the paper edges unfolded. Paper tone looks more yellow in person.
