Beschreibung

87x127 cm. Wall map with no rods, restored. Varnish removed, modern linen backing. Excellent condition except for light staining near top edge and some loss to the top of the view of Robert Martsch's house at the top left corner. Full color by school district. Kinderhook is noted as the home of Martin Van Buren, 8th President of the United States. His house, Lindenwald, is named in the southwest area of the town, though it is not among the 16 inset building views around the edges. Van Buren passed away in Kinderhook in 1862, so he was living at this home at the time this map was made. He is named on the map as Ex-Presdt. Martin Van Buren. Among the building views is a large one showing the shop of a daguerrotypist, J. T. Nichols. This was less than 20 years after the invention of the daguerrotype. Published by Richard Clark, who produced many other large maps of towns and counties. Drawn by Benjamin A. Clark. While likely not unique as maps such as this were published in signficant numbers for subscribers in the town, this map is nonetheless currently not recorded in OCLC or the catalogue of the Library of Congress. We have found no references to it in any bibliography. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers m02519
