Description
New York.
This reproduction panorama view map of New York City was drawn by Currier & Ives for Rogers, Peet & Co. in 1879. It shows a bird's-eye view from the harbor, showing Manhattan Island in its surroundings, with various points of interest. New York is shown four years before the Brooklyn Bridge was completed. Transportation in the city was good in 1879, with nearly all the elevated roads starting in the vicinity of the Battery and having frequent stops. The fare at the time was 10 cents, except between certain hours, both morning and evening, when it was five cents. Rogers, Peet & Co. was a large wholesale and retail men's and boys clothier located at 569-575 Broadway, opposite the Metropolitan Hotel.
