Grand Canvas Library Map - New York

Heroic scale highlights the astounding detail of this New York map, first published in London in 1840 by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. A view of lower Manhattan, at the confluence of the Hudson and East rivers, it shows the meandering streets and irregular blocks that chart the city's development from New York Harbor back. Our reproduction is printed on canvas that is hand-finished and distressed in sepia tones, making each unique.
