2o (515 x 353 mm). Five colored double-page linen-backed lithographed maps, each a single section, together forming a map of the Manhattan. Original half leather (dried and worn).
Later, enlarged edition of Viele's map. Viele "The most enduring nineteenth-century map of Manhattan is Egbert Ludovicus Viele's Water Map, which was first published in 1859 and is still in use today. It delineates the original watercourses, streams (underground and surface), meadows, marshes, ponds, ditches, canals, and the shoreline before landfill expanded the city's boundaries... Finally in 1874, he enlarged the map with corrections, changes and additions, and published it separately... Twenty years of surveying and studying went into perfecting this great map..." (Paul E.
