| General_note: This appears to be a ms. copy of the version printed in David T. Valentine's Manual as the frontispiece for 1863; however, the engraver George Hayward's street-address number is scarcely legible as 171, and, oddly, the ascription, bottom right, is to "T.D. [sic!] Valentine." There is no evident plate impression, but this may be a printed, same-size copy of NYHS map 8078, a ms. copy made in 1862 of the original map in the British Museum. |
