This Times article describes the Brooklyn Historical Society's restoration of one of the three extant copies of a plan of the City of New York, 1770. My sister Nancy gave us a print of the map a few years ago. We got it framed and it now takes up most of the living room wall at our house in Friendship, Maine.
