New York: M. Dripps, 1876. Lithographed folding pocket map, hand-colored in outline (40x27 inches, 1015x685 mm). With an inset of Thomas Kitchen's Map of New York originally published in a 1778 issue of the London Magazine. Laid in (detached from?) publisher's 16mo blind-stamped cloth case, with a one-page ad listing maps for sale by Dripps mounted onto the front pastedown. Condition: Clean separations along folds, small hole below the cartouche replaced in manuscript facsimile; covers a bit worn, the ad detached. a fine, detailed pocket map of the city. The inset of an 18th century map is an odd addition to a map that focuses on the growth of the city.
