(New York - NYC) Map of New York City... Temperance Movement...
A favorite map for the city with a fantastic anti-alcohols spin. It was around the time of the growing Temperance movement build-up and this map was intended as a shocking visual for the argument against the scourge of alcohol. The argument being that New York was our chief metropolis that influenced the entire direction of the nation, and the city itself is under the manipulative power of drink! The map identifies in red the over 9,000 establishments that were licensed to sell alcohol, and there is a lot of red.
Condition is good with some light foxing and typically close margins. Image size is 8.5 x 20.5 (inches).
