Large Decorative Map of Westchester County NY 1931 – Linen-Backed Wall Map Description: This impressive large-format decorative map of Lower Westchester County was published in 1931 by Dolph & Stewart and presents a richly detailed snapshot of suburban New York on the eve of major mid-20th-century expansion. Covering the area from Tarrytown in the north to just below the New York City boundary in the south, the map captures the dense network of towns, streets, rail lines, parks, and waterways that defined Westchester’s early commuter landscape. Prominently shown are Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Rye, Scarsdale, White Plains, Harrison, Mamaroneck, Bronxville, Pelham, and Eastchester, with parts of the Bronx—including Van Cortlandt Park and Woodlawn Cemetery—clearly delineated along the southern edge. The Hudson River defines the western boundary, with a sliver of New Jersey visible beyond, while the northeastern portion extends into Connecticut. Parks and golf courses are highlighted in green, bodies of water in blue, and transportation routes—including railroads, stations, and ferry connections—are clearly identified. Below the main map is an extensive street and avenue index, making this not only a visually striking wall piece but also a fascinating historical reference. The cartography reflects early 20th-century planning priorities, emphasizing transportation infrastructure and residential development during a formative period for Westchester County as a desirable suburban extension of New York City. This example has been dissected and mounted on linen, as issued, allowing the large sheet to fold neatly while also making it especially suitable for framing. With its balanced pastel palette, fine linework, and substantial scale, the map works beautifully as a statement piece in both classic and modern interiors—particularly appealing to interior designers, architects, and collectors of American cartography. Condition: Issued folding, dissected and mounted on linen. Minor toning along some fold lines, with light foxing and a small amount of soiling near the upper edge. Overall a well-preserved and attractive example, with strong color and excellent legibility throughout. Framing tips: This map presents best framed without glass glare in a large, clean-lined frame. A natural oak, walnut, or muted black frame with a narrow off-white or soft ivory mat will emphasize the scale and detail without overpowering the composition. For a more architectural look, consider float-mounting to reveal the linen backing.
