Here the Statue of Liberty is one landmark among many in a sweeping elevated view of the harbor and the boroughs of Greater New York. The city took its present shape in 1898, when Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island were consolidated into one municipality. Bird's-eye maps like this were popular in the late 1800s because they let viewers take in streets, piers and waterways at once, as if looking down from a high point. The statue, dedicated in 1886, appears here as part of that growing metropolis, a sign of how quickly it became part of the city's identity.
