Antique Manhattan, New York Map from Bromley's 1955 Manhattan Land Book – Lower East Side, Two Bridges, Laguardia & Corlears Hook Houses NYC

Beautiful, antique, double-sided map of Lower Manhattan, taken from the rare "Manhattan Land Book of the City of New York" published in 1955 by G.W. Bromley & Company. This is an authentic print and NOT a computer reproduction. Includes Plates #13 and #14 from the atlas.

See what Manhattan looked like more than 65 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details. All streets, important buildings and landmarks are named—a lot of which have changed in the past 70 or so years. All city blocks are numbered.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1955, printed 1955

Condition: Very Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in incredible shape for being almost 70 years old. The atlas the map is from was spiral bound. These holes are easily concealed with framing and placing a similar-colored paper in the background as I have done in the photos, or can be cut with no loss to the image—the margins would still be even on both sides. I've left it up to the customer to decide how best to present it.
