This charming plan of the old city is a finely engraved and very detailed example that shows the layout in a pleasant and easy to read fashion. Railroads are prominently shown, and feature miniature vignettes of trains chugging along the routes. The locations of several forts are also featured, and a list of references at bottom indicates where the visitor will find public buildings, churches, monuments, and taverns. Map folds into brown embossed cloth covers (3.3 x 5") with gilt title, Dearborns Map of Boston.
