This print showcases a historical map of the city that never sleeps - New York City. Created in 1880 under the direction of the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Fire Department, this detailed map provides a fascinating glimpse into the urban landscape of Manhattan and parts of the Bronx during that era. Spanning an impressive 37x96 cm, this meticulously crafted map features intricate drawings depicting buildings owned and utilized by both the Metropolitan Fire Department and Metropolitan Police Department.
