Description
New York: G. W. Bromley & Company, 1934. Very Good. New York: G. W. Bromley & Company, 1934. First Edition, from an unknown number printed but with "No. 70" cut and pasted to front free endpaper. Oblong folio (30x43.5cm); original gray cloth stamped in red and black; [8]pp. index + 188 color plates with extensive pasted-in cancels, collated and complete. Boards soiled and edgeworn with minor fraying; binding sound; occasional spotting and chipping to edges, else a Very Good and sound copy. Incredibly detailed block by block map of Depression-era Manhattan, notable for the meticulous updates by hand to nearly every plate with paper cutouts (and adjacent glue smears) placed above the originals, presumably to account for the fast pace of change in the city's urban landscape. Bromley had last produced a Manhattan land book in 1930. Remarkable for its production, level of detail, and capturing New York in its skyscraper heyday.
