By: Charles Magnus

Date: 1854 (published) New York 

Dimensions: 18 1/4 x 22 3/4 inches 

A rare, separately issued map of New York state from prolific print publisher Charles Magnus. The work was printed in New York in 1854, less than 30 years after the completion of the Erie Canal and at the beginning of a statewide effort to implement railroads that would connect all major cities with the any small towns between them.

This map has considerable topographical and political information of the state, including indications of canals and railroads.  An inset map of Long Island is placed at the bottom center, and an interesting bird's eye view of Niagara Falls graces the top left corner.  The whole is attractively hand colored in pastel shades, and it is easy to see that this would have been a popular decorative map for visitors or residents of New York. 

Known best for his souvenir prints of scenes of American locations, Charles Magnus also issued an interesting group of regional American maps, probably also intended for the souvenir market. 

Condition: This map is in A condition with original hand coloring and ample margins on all sides.
