Antique Williamsburg, Brooklyn 1880 GM Hopkins Atlas Map – New York City, East River Waterfront, Kent, Wythe, Berry, Bedford shops Avenue NY NYC

Beautiful, antique map of the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. This is an authentic map taken from the rare GH Hopkins "Detailed Estate and Old Farm Line Atlas of the City of Brooklyn" published in 1880 and is NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Brooklyn looked like 140 years ago, during a time of rapid urbanization. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including old farm owner's names and land property lines as well as geographical points of interest. All streets are named and buildings numbered. It shops is a large map and will be a showpiece wherever it is presented. Verso is blank.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1880, printed 1880

Condition: Good or "Very Vintage" condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being 140 years old. Has some real wear, toning, foxing, coloring, small missing areas where tabs were on margins and a fold as-issued, but this will flatten easily and all will read as vintage character when framed.

(Images of atlas cover and frontispiece shown for information only and not included.)
