Additional Information
This birds-eye perspective of New York City and Brooklyn, with Jersey City and Hoboken waterfront published in 1892 is a stunning depiction of the iconic American area in a time of great transition, growth, and prosperity. The bustling harbor and busy streets saw immigrants pouring into the city. The five boroughs had yet to be consolidated, and the city was transforming.
Modern steel and glass skyscrapers were introduced to the city in the 1890s, and the development of the modern-day department store had begun as well. By this time, New York had become the number one destination for tourists seeking entertainment, museums, and nightlife. The first of what would come to be known as nightclubs, the Webster Hall, opened in 1886.
1892 also marked the opening of Ellis Island, where the flood of immigrants would start embark on their journey in America. The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1886, becoming an immediately recognizable landmark and part of the new American identity.
Birdseye perspectives were published to allow residents and merchants alike to display their civic pride, and New Yorkers had many reasons to be proud. Produced and illustrated by the prolific Currier & Ives Lithographic company, the distinct aesthetic of these maps immediately transports the viewer back in time. The company had been creating unique images that represented significant moments and places in American History, and this map is no different. New York in the 1890s was a city full of life as immigrants mingled with locals and cultures learned to thrive and evolve into the diverse tapestry recognized today.
