This 1879 map of New York was issued as a premium, a free item a business handed out to draw in customers. The Clothier & Hatter, operated under the name Root & Tinker, put its own name on the piece, so it works as both a regional map and a piece of local advertising. Panoramic maps like this one, drawn from an elevated viewpoint to show streets, buildings and waterways together, were popular in the late 1870s, when merchants often used them as keepsakes that customers would hang at home or in the office. The reduced size suggests a smaller printed version of the original, which makes it easy to handle while still showing the detail of the period.
