Rare 1770 Map of New York City Is Restored - NYTimes.com



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.
