Viele, Egbert L.
Note
This is a rare variant of Viele's New York City map. It is printed on thin paper and folded into the rear of a small booklet with an essay by Viele explaining the map and its construction and the topography of New York City. The map shows all the original water courses of Manhattan Island, with the street grid superimposed on top. Also, three different kinds of land are shown: Marsh, Made Land, and Meadow. Sewer lines are indicated. This map differs in the title from the more common version issued with the Report on the Sanitary Conditions in New York (see our 3723.000)/ In 1874 Viele reissued the map in larger format as the Topographical Atlas of the City of New York (see our copy).

Note
For some reason Haskell and Stokes date this map 1864 although it was copyrighted by Viele in 1865. Removed from the Report of the Council of Hygiene (see our copy). The map shows all the original water courses of Manhattan Island, with the street grid superimposed on top. Also, three different kinds of land are shown: Marsh, Made Land, and Meadow. Sewer lines are indicated. A very beautiful full color map occasioned by a not so beautiful subject. In 1874 Viele reissued the map in larger format as the Topographical Atlas of the City of New York (see our copy). This map was also published as a separate pocket map, in covers.
