BURR, David

A Map of the State of New-York and the Surrounding Country…Designating County, Towns, Canals, Rail Roads, Senatorial & Congressional Divisions. Also the Distances Along the Canals, Rail Roads and Principal Mail Routes

Ithaca, N.Y.: Stone & Clark, 1841. Full period color, 20 x 24¾ inches, folding into gilt-stamped brown leather covers. Some repairs.

"Engd. by Rawdon, Clark & Co., Albany & Rawdon, Wright & Co., New York." This is a revised edition of an important map of New York State. It originally appeared in the first edition of Burr's Atlas of the State of New York (1829), which was authorized by the Legislature of the State, and was just the second atlas of an American state to appear in print. In the following year, a wall map version of the map was published. The official status of the map was emphasized by a notice on the first (1830) edition of the wall map version: "Published by [order of ] Simeon de Witt Surveyor General [of the State of New York] Pursuant to an act of the Legislature." The rights to the Atlas of the State of New York were subsequently purchased by Stone and Clark, who in 1841 brought out this updated pocket map edition of the folio version of the state map. Not in Rumsey nor in Phillips. For the atlas and wall map, see Ristow, pp.104-5.

DRIPPS, Matthew (publisher)

Map of New York City south of 46th. St

New York: M. Dripps, 1876. Folding lithographic map (39 3/4 x 26 3/4 inches), hand-coloured in outline. (Small clean tears to folds, small section at foot of title excised by the publisher, replaced with identical paper and with some manuscript work added). 1p. letterpress 'Catalogue of M. Dripps' Maps' tipped onto front pastedown of cover. (Small clean tears to folds.) Unbound, as issued, within original dark brown cloth boards, blocked in blind, with title 'Dripps' Large Map of N.Y. City' blocked in gilt on upper cover.

A fine example of this pocket map, with a fully-coloured inset of a copy of Thomas Kitchin's map of 'New York Island' (originally published in the London Magazine in 1778) and interesting lists of Police Stations and sub-Post Offices, a street directory, and a key to rail road routes

The title notes that the map also includes details '... showing new arrangement Docks, piers and water frontage also soundings and former high water line Elevated and horse car railroad routes, traced by characters, public buildings, churches, &c. Street directory and numbers.' The detail on the map is impressive, with numerous businesses, hotels, banks, theatres, etc. identified, as well as the route of the elevated railway along Greenwich Street -- the first elevated railroad in Manhattan. In the same year, Dripps also issued a two-sheet map which extended the area covered north to 135th street but was otherwise similar (the same inset Kitchin map for instance).

Cf. "Checklist of Maps and Atlases relating to the city of New York in the New York Public Library" in the Bulletin of the New York Public Library, volume V (New York: 1901), p.71 ("Map ... south of 135th Street'); not in Rumsey.

Inset in lower left: "Profile of the Grand Erie Canal." Statistical table at right. Sales label for Finley's "New and Correct Pocket Maps" on inside front cover. Minor repairs.

First edition of a highly important pocket map of New York State. Orleans County is not yet present. A second edition, with Orleans County, and dated 1825, was included in Finley's A New American Atlas (1826). Rumsey notes that the atlas was an "attempt to compete with Tanner's American Atlas... the cartography and engraving are equal to Tanner, although the scale and map size are smaller." In 1831 the plates for the atlas were sold to S. Augustus Mitchell, who revised the maps and brought out a new edition in that year. Mitchell continued to issued the maps separately in pocket form until about 1850. Not in Phillips.
