Full Title: Map Of The Country Thirty Miles Round the City of New York. Designed & Drawn by I.H. Eddy of N. York, 1812. To Dewitt Clinton Esqr. Mayor of the City of New York This Map is inscribed by his respectful friend The Author. Published by Prior & Dunning, Map & Chart sellers No. 111 Water Street. Copy Right secured according to Law. Engrd. by P. Maverick, Newark, N. Jersey.

Author: Eddy, John H.

Date: 1811

Note: 1st edition. Other editions of 1828, 36, 39, 42. Reengraved by Colton in 1846 (see our 1853 edition). Rare. Stokes: "This is one of the most complete, accurate, and beautiful early engraved maps showing New York and its environs." It was engraved by Peter Maverick. Stokes states that J. M. Atwood reengraved this map in 1846 for Colton (although the reengraving changed the map substantially). The 1828 reissue was in guide book form by Hooker and Blunt, Disturnell issued the 1836 and 39 editions (see our 1839 issue), and Goodrich issued the 1842 edition. Stokes dates the map at 1811 because of a reference to its publication in the October, 1811 issue of The American Medical and Philosophical Register. Eddy's name is written "I.H. Eddy" on the map, the "I" probably mistaken by the engraver for the "J." Map has outline color; dissected into 15 sections and mounted on linen. Folds with a gray marbled end sheet into a new gray cloth folding case 21x13 with "Thirty Miles Round New York J. Eddy 1811" stamped in gilt on the spine.
