I was able to score 9 fantastic maps of Paterson from an 1877 atlas published by E.B. Hyde, there are also 5 or 6 engravings of buildings from both Paterson & Passaic NJ. I can't wait to get them all together and have them framed, I plan on putting them on the wall in my living room in the correct placement to show the whole city. Since many of the street names have changed over the years it's will be a great research tool in showing all the known brewers/bottlers/liquor merchants and there exact locations.
Paterson had a major fire in 1902 burning thru 75% of the main part of the city, so this map will also show me locaions of many structures before the fire. The pages measure 28" x 19" and I got the whole group for $140, and I don't have to feel bad about tearing up an atlas such as this on my own...
I'll post a few pics from the sellers Ebay adds...better pics after they arrive
