This scarce piece is a dramatic and decorative map of the state that includes a beautiful birds-eye view of Niagara Falls at upper left. The map is colored by county with much detail of towns and villages, canals, railroads, wagon roads, watershed, and more. A second inset shows all of Long Island on the same scale as the main map. The titling is in fancy text with flourishes and banknote-style pattern behind. A handsome decorative border surrounds the map. Blank verso. An uncommon map by Charles Magnus, 12 Frankfort Str. New York. The map appears to have been issued separately or perhaps in a pocket map format although there is no overt evidence of it having been attached to covers.
