A terrific plan of the city and waterfront along the Delaware River. Great detail shows major buildings and landmarks, and names all streets. List at bottom names, and is keyed to, 96 buildings and institutions. Lovely engraved vignettes show in great detail the United States Bank and the Exchange.
