A very late Colton imprint, and probably the firm’s last year of publication. In 1898, the firm became “Colton, Ohman & Co.” and continued to issue maps until 1901 (see our #5085). The map is printed on both sides. Printed color, folded loosely into printed light brown card board covers 14×9 with “Guide Map Of New York City Issued By The Merchants’ Association of New York New York Life Building (Ground Floor) 1897” in black; to left of title is beautiful illustration of the “New York Life Building”, and above the title reads “To Foster the Trade and Commerce of New York”. – David Rumsey Map Collection
