Full Description:

This stunning piece of historical cartography offers a fascinating aerial perspective of New York City during a period of transformative growth. Dated 1904, just six years after the consolidation of the Five Boroughs into Greater New York, the map is a detailed illustration of the entire city.

Observe the dense grid of Manhattan, the expanding waterfronts of Brooklyn and Queens, the winding streets of The Bronx, and the developing landscapes of Staten Island, all labeled with period-specific typography. Waterways, parks, and major bridges are meticulously rendered.

Adding to its unique character, the map prominently features branding from the Lawyers Title Insurance Company of New York, who likely commissioned this print as a marketing material or gift, adding a layer of commercial history to the piece.

The print is housed in a sophisticated black wood frame with a classic profile. A detailed gold-tone beaded inner fillet or fillet liner creates a border that highlights the artwork and adds a touch of classic elegance. This framed piece is professionally assembled with clear protective glass and is ready to hang.
