Map of the City of Bridgeport, Conn.

Huge wall map of Bridgeport, restored. Varnish removed, modern linen. Significant loss in top 15 cm., particularly to five building views at the top right corner. One of the views is mostly gone, while another is likely entirely missing at the top corner. The map areas are essentially intact with minor loss in the northeast region, a narrow strip of facsimile work near the top, and a couple of small chips. 18 full or partial views of buildings at edges. Full original color. Published by Eneas Smith and printed by Friend & Aub of Philadelphia. Notwithstanding the issues of condition, this is an extremely rare large map of Connecticut?s largest city. OCLC 556710111 list two copies, though as both are at the British Library it is difficult to determine if these are two distinct copies or one copy erroneously listed twice. Not in Thompson (Maps of Connecticut), normally very comprehensive. Not in the catalogue of the Connecticut Historical Society.
