Large, linen-backed map of the city with a key to 875 locations! The map was printed by Robert A. Welcke, a New York lithographer in the later part of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. The map covers Manhattan to show all of Central Park up to 125th Street. The elevated railroads are shown and the Brooklyn Bridge is the only bridge shown in addition to the scores of ferries connecting the city with the surrounding towns. There is no title or publisher noted.
