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.
