Description: ORIGINAL c1870 WATCHUNG HEIGHTS - PROPERTY OF WATSON WHITTELSEY BIRDS EYE VIEW CONSTRUCTION BROADSIDE This is just a great original piece. I am a big fan of these original birds eye views from the 19th Century that show towns as they were before the major boom. This one is a particularly scarce as I have only been able to find one other example and that sold at a high end Map sale back in 2004. There description of this piece reads: "Unusual lithographed bird's eye view of the real estate development, with vignettes of local sites (including an early view of Edison's laboratory and manufacturing plant), and text extolling the virtues of the development, ". This example is very nice - except for one caveat - for some reason the previous owner decided to laminate the whole map front and back. It has done a nice job preserving it in its current state but obviously the lamination cannot be removed. Print measure 22 x 28 inches. Overall good condition. Some folds as issued. A few small edge tears to the outer edge. The lamination extends beyond the edge of the print and would make it quite easy to frame. Do your own research on this rare map. Dont miss this chance. Map is stored in a tube and will be shipped that way. FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES! CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
