12000 Square Miles Around New York City. From New Haven To Trenton. From Long Branch To The Catskills

New York: H.H. Lloyd, 1866. Rich full period color. On two sheets that form one map, 36½ x 50½ inches, folding into gilt-stamped dark green cloth covers. First edition. This is an exceedingly detailed wall map in pocket format, that shows the environs of New York City on a scale of two and one-half miles to the inch. The map extends from Long Branch on the Jersey Shore in the south to Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley in the north; and from Patchogue on Long Island in the east to Trenton, New Jersey in the west. This may be the same as Rumsey 3212 (1867), but with a different title: "An intense map of the region around New York, intensely colored and dense with information." The map is so detailed that even blacksmith shops are located. At lower center is a listing of the various maps offered for sale by Lloyd.
