Description
Fine lithographed map of the town of Somers. The map provides the names of specific homeowners, as well as information about the occupations and physical locations of the various tradesmen in each village from Beer's famous county atlas "Atlas of New York and vicinity," "a documentary record of nineteenth-century life and delightful specimens of American folk art."
F. W. Beers, along with other members of his family, were among the leading county atlas publishers in the period immediately following the Civil War. Their atlases provide "a detailed cartographical, biographical, and pictorial record of a large segment of rural America in the Victorian age" (Ristow).
Beers first published his Atlas of New York & Vicinity in 1867.
Shows townships, roads, railroads, radial distances. "Atlas of New York and vicinity" published by Beers, Ellis & Soule, 95 Maiden Lane, New York.
