New York Map-Guide Bollmann, Hermann Maps Posters Photos Graphics,New York City

First edition. Map folded in booklet with 48 page guide book in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese. Map unfolds to approx.43 x 33.5 inches. A very good copy in original wrappers. The great map of mid-century Manhattan based on thousands of aerial photographs (reproduced with a forgivable lack of fidelity), showing axonometric representations of every building in mid-town Manhattan from the Central Park to approximately 20th St. The map was commissioned for exhibition at the 1964 World's Fair, and Bollmann here reproduced it in a smaller scale for this multilingual New York guidebook. (Manhattan in Maps p. 152; The Greatest Grid 177)
