This large, stunning bird's-eye view was created by Hermann Bollmann in West Germany for Pictorial Maps, Inc. of New York. The map covers midtown Manhattan from 13th Street to Central Park, and shows individual buildings with an unusual and precise 3D-effect to convey relative size. Intended for the tourist, the map identifies many points of interest including the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, Gimbels, Macy's, Madison Square Garden, and many more. The verso contains a detailed map of the city's five boroughs. Bollmann took an incredible 67,000 photographs of the city (17,000 in the air) in order to create this hand-drawn map.
