This is a facsimile edition of the Bradford map of New York City (21.9 x 16.9"), with only 3 original examples known. It originally appeared in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the warehousing system which shows the development of the docks in New York City. Attached to the facsimile map is an extended map by Edward Ewen (34.0 x 3.8") detailing the plans for a pier along the North River.
