Pictured is a fairly nice Original 1860 Map of The Progress of New York's Central Park and a map of the profiles of the Central Park. Both maps have Fred Law Olmstead Architect in Chief & Calvert Vaux consulting Architect on the lower left, Sarony, Major, & Knapp Lith. NY in the center and W. H. Grant Supty Engr on the lower right. Both of these maps are attached to page 43-44 of the Third Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners of the Central Park, January, 1860. (I will be listing the Lithographs from the book in a separate auction as the book was not salvageable). The first map of Central park measures approx. 34 1/2" by 8 1/2". It does have a small tear in the section with the New Reservoir (see photo), but would probably mat and frame okay. The other map of the Profiles of Central Park measures approx. 24" x 8". Both maps will be mailed folded as found in the book. Map, Rare Map, New York Central Park, 1860, Civil War, Frederick Law Olmstead, Calvert Vaux, Sarony, Major & Knapp Lithographers New York, W. H.
