New York Picture Map, To the Rising Generation
Pictures by John Bachmann
The Statue of Liberty raises her torch in a golden sunburst above an 1890 picture map of New York and New England, framed by the flag, an eagle and a sea of sailing ships. She had been unveiled in New York Harbor just four years before this map was printed, and inside, John Bachmann's bird's-eye view of Manhattan continues the journey. For someone who loves New York.
