Published near the height of the Great Depression, the National City Bank of New York hoped to commemorate the ‘good ole days’ by sponsoring this Historical Map of New York. Major events dating back to the 17th century, across each of the five boroughs, are illustrated in a charming pictorial style. A handful of ‘modern’ elements are interspersed throughout the image, including 20th-century bridges, the Vanderbilt Ferry to Staten Island, and the locations of over eighty regional branches of the National City Bank (listed on the verso).
