Hooker, William, 1836, Drawn, Engraved, Printed, Published & Sold by W. Hooker."  William Hooker published early maps of New York from the 1820's through the early 1840's.  The map, when folded, fits between a rigid board cover and is small enough to fit in one's pocket.  The map also bears lists of churches and public buildings, offering a spectacular glimpse of a New York City long since gone.  Portions of the map are in color, probably hand done.This particular map is in three pieces, the paper having separated along folds, but the entire map is here, with nothing missing.  The following two links will take you to large photos of the map, including one that clearly shows the three separate pieces.  I believe the map could easily be restored with a minimum of work.(Copy and paste the following links into your browser's address field to see the pictures)http://www.angelfire.com/film/rdsquires/ebay/bigmap1.jpghttp://www.angelfire.com/film/rdsquires/ebay/bigmap2.jpgI am NOT an expert in maps, so if you have any questions or can not access the photos and need them emailed to you, please ask.Insurance is optional and must be paid by the buyer.  International buyers will be furnished a shipping rate after winning the auction.
