Hagstrom's Map of New York Financial District and Civic Center

HAGSTROM COMPANY

Edité par Hagstrom Company, New York, 1965

Case map. Color lithograph. Map measures 25" x 22", case measures 7 3/4" x 4" x 1/8". This fascinating pocket map features public offices, churches, streets, subways, railways and more in downtown Manhattan. Extending from the Battery north to Chinatown and Tribeca north of City Hall, it covers every block in beautiful detail. This map serves as a snapshot for a moment in the mid-1960s, when plans for the World Trade Center, a new New York Stock Exchange building, and a new Civic Center high-rise had been proposed but not completed. Red shaded sections of the map show the "Area proposed" for each development, though modern New Yorkers know that neither the new Stock Exchange or Civic Center were ever built. An index listing the individual establishments and streets is included along the left and right margins. The map is in very good condition and is attached to the original cover. Cover shows some wear. Overall, a fascinating record of New York's important establishments from the mid-20th century. Andrew Hagstrom founded Hagstrom Company in 1916, engaging in publishing and sale of regional, street, and road maps. N° de réf. du vendeur 332307
