Publisher's blurb: Welcome to New York! I hope you're for the Colonies, we've got too many Tories to tar and feather as it is! This map is a beautiful piece of work suitable for use as a poster map or a beautiful computer background. Antique Maps XXVII - New York of the 1700s details the City of New York in the 1700's, as General Washington and the Founding Fathers may have seen it. This map could have been found in any period military officers collection. And would be perfect for those attempting to lay siege to the city! The text on the map is legible, if you zoom in.
