Rare 1817 hand-colored copy of an original map of early 18th century Wall Street attached to a Deed of Partition between Col. Abraham de Peyster and Samuel Bayard dated January 3rd 1718, copied on April 8th 1817 by Stephen Ludlam, City Surveyor. One page, the hand-colored map details the intersection of Wall Street, Broad Street, and Kip Street (now Nassau Street) and includes the Presbyterian Church, the original City Hall, and 23 partitioned lots each labeled as owned by Abraham DePeyster or Samuel Bayard. Born in 1657 in New Amsterdam, wealthy merchant and ship owner Abraham de Peyster received numerous political appointments in New York City at the turn of the 19th century. He became the 20th mayor of New York City in 1691, a position he held for three years, and on October 4, 1698, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Judicature. Because of regular conflicts of interest that arose due to his extensive business involvement, he was recused from many cases. Despite this, he served as acting Governor of the Province New York in 1700 and, subsequently, Chief Justice on January 21, 1701. In near fine condition. The map measures 12.5 inches by 30 inches. Wall Street was originally known in Dutch as "Het Cingel" or the Belt when it was part of New Amsterdam in the 17th century. An actual wall existed on the street from 1653 to 1699, constructed under orders from Director General of the Dutch West India Company, Peter Stuyvesant, at the start of the first Anglo-Dutch war soon after New Amsterdam was incorporated. During the 18th century, Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site, and from the early eighteenth century (1703) the location of Federal Hall, New York's first city hall. In the early 19th century, both residences and businesses occupied the area, but increasingly business predominated, and New York City's financial industry became centered on Wall Street.

First edition, number 53 of an estimated 1,600 copies, inscribed by Boyer to Lawrence Schwartzwald on the title page, "Thanks for helping to make this possible, Lawrence! Love, Stephen". Schwartzwald was a photographer for the New York Post and author of Reading New York and Famous Poets (both 2017). This copy is also signed by Gordon Gilbert, who helped Boyer run the makeshift People's Library in Zuccotti Park. This is the largest document to come from the Occupy Wall Street movement, a "living, breathing, and all-inclusive" anthology of protest poetry. It is rare in commerce, and we have located just nine copies institutionally - five in New York and none outside the US. During the nine-week protest, poetry assemblies were held at the People's Library, which provided free access to over 5,000 printed works for readers and championed free cultural exchange. Boyer, the librarian, wanted to preserve these recitations, so he and Filip Marinovich asked participants to submit their poetry online. They were soon inundated with verses from protesters across the country, including established poets such as Eileen Myles, Michael McClure, Adrienne Rich, and Anne Waldman. There was no selection criteria: any and all submissions were included. "It is not exclusively a political anthology", remarked Boyer, "as I don't see the Occupy Movement exclusively as a political movement either. The movement is a move toward a better world, socially, and in the anthology you see a lot of poems celebrating life or joyously describing aspects of society that are often marginalized and those poems allow you to rethink your preconceived notions" (quoted by Steinhauer).
