- Lot Description
[NEW YORK] VIELE, EGBERT. The Topography and Hydrology of New York. New York: Robert Craighead, 1865. First edition thus. Publisher's green gilt-stamped cloth. 9 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches (23.5 x 14 cm), the text 13 pp.; with the large folding map Topographical Map of the City of New York Showing Original Water Courses and Made Land. This hand-colored lithographed folding map is in the original form of issue, printed on strong, thin paper, opening to 19 3/4 x 65 inches (50 x 165 cm). The folder is somewhat worn with spine defects, but generally a fresh copy, the text clean, the map from two conjoined sheets, a clean separation to one fold and several small separations, but bright overall. "The most enduring nineteenth-century map of Manhattan" (Manhattan in Maps). The current map is a major expansion of Viele's original plan of Central Park and was issued at a time of great concern over sanitation and disease in the city. The map proved its usefulness in the decades that followed, having been utilized at the time of the construction of the Empire State Building and also United Nations Plaza. One of the most desirable maps of New York of the period, and surprisingly rare. The present copy of the map anecdotally descended in the family of Juliette Henrietta Viele neé Dana, the cartographer's second wife, to the present generation. Stokes, Iconography of Manhattan Island, Volume III, p. 777 & pl. 155; Cohen and Augustyn. Manhattan in Maps, p. 137.No condition report?
