{"product_id":"29-atlas-of-the-world","title":"Map of New York City","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable Rand McNally chromolithograph captures New York City at a transformative moment in its history. Published in 1903, just one year before the first subway opened, the map documents the rapid transit tunnel routes then under construction, the extensive ferry network connecting the boroughs, and the still-developing neighborhoods of the Bronx and Westchester County.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe comprehensive Reference Lists panel provides a fascinating snapshot of early twentieth century urban life, cataloging railroad depots, steamship companies, hotels, office buildings, theaters, and libraries. The detailed inset of Lower Manhattan's business district reveals the dense concentration of commerce below City Hall, while the main map traces the expanding street grid pushing northward toward the city limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA superb example of American commercial cartography from the Progressive Era, this map bridges the gap between the Victorian city of elevated railways and ferries and the modern metropolis shaped by rapid transit. A standout piece for collectors of New York history, transportation ephemera, or those seeking an elegant and historically significant decorative map. *Please note 3rd photo is showing backside of map. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.0\" x 26.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rand McNally \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear.
