Ephemera. An auction map for the sale of two city blocks in what is now Midtown Manhattan, just below Central Park. The area for sale ran from 7th Avenue to 8th Avenue and from 57th Street to 59th Street. The terms were 10% payable at the auction, 30% payable when the deeds were delivered, and the rest due in three years, with 6% per year interest due twice yearly. Lithographed map on paper. 19-1/4 by 17-5/8 inches on a larger sheet. Linen backed. Dust soiling and minor staining to margins, slightly cockled, old folds, ink bleed from inscription on verso, a few pencil notations on the map.

Ephemera. A real estate auction map for a portion of the Caspar Semlar (sometimes spelled Semler, as in the map title) farm in what is now the Rose Hill neighborhood of New York. This was part of the Common Grounds land Casimir Goerck surveyed in the late 18th century, with the course of the Middle Road shown on the map. The Middle Road, parallel to Broadway, was never paved but because it was the basis of property lines it created a lot of triangular shaped lots in Manhattan when the street and avenue grid was put in place. This map covers 28th to 31st Street, between Park (labeled 4th Avenue here) and Madison. Two buildings shown on this map of largely agricultural land are along the Middle Road, which happened to put them directly in the middle of Park Avenue. A substantial house, filling two lots on 30th Street, is shown nearly 90 degrees out of alignment with the modern street grid. Caspar Samler died in 1810 and these and other properties were inherited by his grandchildren, who were likely the people selling the 91 lots for sale in 1846. The terms were 10% due at the auction, another 10% due at the end of the month, and the rest due in five years, with the buyer required to make twice yearly interest payments (6% per annum). Lithographed map on paper, linen backed. 28 x 24 inches (71.25 x 61 cm). No copies recorded on OCLC. Light soiling, a few stains and some adhered newsprint in the margins, closed edge tears, old folds, one corner reattached (not affecting map), a few pencil annotations, ink annotations to verso and backing.
