1912 "Panoramic View of New York City and Vicinity" by Jacob Ruppert
About the Item
This is an attractive and very scarce map of New York, published by the Yorkville brewer Jacob Ruppert in 1912. The map shows an expansive view of the region reaching from Sandy Hook in the south and Yonkers to the north, to Hicksville in the east and past Newark to the west. This beautifully colored birds eye view shows waterways with all shipping traffic, boroughs, and clearly labeled railroad routes. It is presented on period dowels and backed on its original linen.
Jacob Ruppert was born in New York City in 1842 to Bavarian immigrants. His father owned a brewery in Manhattan where young Jacob learned the business of brewing. In 1862, Jacob established the Jacob Ruppert Brewery and in the first year of production he sold over 5,000 barrels of beer. Jacob Ruppert's son, Jake, emerged as general manager of the company in 1890. By that time, the Jacob Ruppert Brewery was producing over a half a million barrels a year. The location of the brewery is noted on the map with a black star. The year after this map's publishing, the brewery expanded with a bigger and better plant that grew to an eventual 2 million barrel capacity.
Beyond his beer empire, Ruppert is an important figure in New York sports. He and a partner bought the struggling New York Yankees franchise in 1915, brought Babe Ruth from Boston in 1919, and in 1923 opened Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. The beer was highly featured at the team's baseball stadium.

- 1863 "Lloyd's New Map of the United States, the Canadas, and New Brunswick"Located in Colorado Springs, COPresented is “Lloyd's New Map of the United States, the Canadas and New Brunswick, From the latest Surveys, Showing Every Railroad & Station Finished to June 1863, and the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.” A large, Civil War-era hanging map of the United States and adjacent territories, this map covers the area from the Atlantic Ocean and extends as far west as the 103 meridian, to “Dacotah,” Nebraska, Kansas, "Indian Territory," and Texas. The southern continuation of Florida is shown in an inset map along the right margin. This map was published by J. T. Lloyd, in New York, in 1863. According to the publisher’s marking at lower right, this map was originally issued in two states: "in Sheets, Colored" for 50 cents, and "Varnished nicely, with Rollers" for $1. Throughout the map, the counties are colored and the towns and cities well labeled. A reference key in the bottom margin provides symbols for railroads, turnpikes and wagon roads, state capitals, cities and towns, and village post offices. As emphasized in the map’s title, this map is especially notable for the countless railway lines and stations depicted, with distances noted between points, listing “every railroad and finished station to June 1863.” Additionally, two shipping agents and their routes are drawn out of New York City. The map includes details of the steamship routes into New York and Philadelphia from Liverpool and on to California and Oregon via an overland Nicaraguan trek, presumably to assist gold rush emigrants. This expansive and impressive map depicts the eastern half of the United States in the third year of the Civil War. In order not to recognize the legitimacy of the Confederate States of America, each state is shown in the same manner as the Union states. The only indication that the American Civil War was in progress when this map was published is a printed notice that Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy, wishes to acquire a quote on 100 copies of Lloyd’s Mississippi River map...Category
