Bordered by a poem
It’s fitting that this map of New York, published by Washington Square Bookshop, would begin with a poem:
Here is a map to give you pleasure,
A town reduced to your mantel’s measure,
City of gayety, city of gold,
Your Bagdad on Hudson, three hundred years old.
1925 map of New York, published by the Washington Square Bookshop.
