"Map Showing Location of Yonkers on the Hudson, Adjoining New York City [and] Map of Land in the City of Yonkers Known as Fairview Westchester County New York",

This uncommon promotional pocket map contains two maps that fold into wrappers titled, "Fairview at Yonkers on the Hudson, New York" (6" x 3.5"). The first (16 x 16.8") by Robert A. Welcke is hand colored. Concentric circles from 42nd Street extend outward. The second is a black and white street plan (12 x 15.5") drawn by Wm. Henry Baldwin. It shows the location and description for every lot available. Published by the Manhattan & Yonkers Land Company, 503 Fifth Avenue, the booklet's text separates the two maps and includes interesting facts about Yonkers including investment information. It claims more than 1,000 lots available at $300 each, a bargain compared to adjacent lots selling for $600 to $900. Printed by John Medole & Son, New York.
