Magnus, Charles “Map of the City of Newark” [New Jersey]

Charles Magnus.  “Map of the City of Newark.”  [New Jersey]. 

New York: Charles Magnus, ca. 1860.  6 ¼ x 8 5/8.  Lithographic transfer from engraved plate.   Original hand color.  With elaborate printed gold border.  On glossy white board.  Very good condition.  

An elaborately decorated map of Newark, New Jersey not long after 1853, as the population of that year is indicated as 48,000.  From the time period indicated by the population figure, this would appear to be a fairly early effort from the Magnus firm.  A fine and attractive example of mid-nineteenth century lithography.
