Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: G.M. Hopkins & Co. Map. Engraving with original hand coloring. Measures 17 1/2" x 27 3/8".<br/> <br/> This map of Jersey City, published in 1873, is an example of a real estate, plat, or ward map - which show detailed information regarding land division, property ownership, and public infrastructure. This map features part of the downtown waterfront, showing piers, ferry buildings, rail lines and depots, and coal docks. Streets are clearly labeled. Between the streets, plots of land are labeled by number, and include names of landowners. The map shows the natural coastline along Pavonia Ave, with the grid plan extended into Harsimus Cove, which would soon be land-filled. Most of this area was demolished for construction of the Holland Tunnel, which opened in 1927, and later, the Newport section of Jersey City. <br> <br> The map appeared in G.M. Hopkins & Co.'s "Combined Atlas of the State of New Jersey and the county of Hudson." It is in good overall condition. Minor chips and tears to edges, not affecting the image. <br> <br> G.M. Hopkins & Co. was a Philadelphia-based publishing firm. Between 1870 and 1940, the company produced over 175 atlases and real estate plat maps of cities, counties, and townships in 18 different states and the District of Columbia. Today, their maps offer a detailed insight into the ways many cities have - and haven't - changed in the course of the last century.<br/> <br/>
