Vintage Reproduction of an Antique Map
1961
Maker: Orban
This map is a 1961 reproduction of a map made circa 1895 showing Garden City on Long Island by Robert A. Welcke (Lithographer), and Garden City Company (Publisher). The 1961 publisher was John Orban Jr. This charming map shows the street plan with railroads, an inset map of the larger surrounding area, and numerous illustrations of homes and notable buildings, each delicately rendered with great detail. The original map was made to advertise the development and the text at bottom points out many desirable attributes designed to entice potential purchasers, including schools and easy railroad access to the city. Fair condition with some vertical creases and notable wear and tears along the edges including paper loss at the lower right corner. Many of these imperfections can be hidden with a mat when framing. Measures approx. 16.5 x 27 inches to the neatline.
