Issued 1855, New York by Ensign.
Uncommon and charming little mid 19th century wax engraved (cerographic) city map with lovely hand color.
Issued within a scarce Gazetteer, text on reverse as always. At top right is a detailed key which locates almost dozen specific buildings, colleges, jail and hotels.
Remains an exceptionally nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.
