From the largest and most comprehensive cartographic collection in the world, Zazzle and The Library of Congress bring you this commemorative poster print featuring a panoramic view of the city of Hackensack, New Jersey was originally drawn by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1896. The map identifies the street names and points of interest in Hackensack more than a century ago. The printed detail is outstanding.
This print measures 29"x23" and is printed on heavyweight poster paper.These reproductions are a dime a dozen (not literally) on eBay and have been for a while. You can almost always find one if you want one, but in case someone isn't aware of them and wants one, here's the info for future reference.
They come is various sizes and prices and have a greenish color to them. I got a white one about a decade ago and it hangs in my hallway. It's an interesting piece with old street names and almost no houses on the Hill. It's odd to see the "Y" of Euclid Ave at its western end and not see a single structure anywhere near it.
The map is surrounded by illustrations of old residences, businesses, churches, and other structures and is really a pretty neat piece to have.
I'm only going to post about it this one time, so if you want one someday, just search "hackensack map" or "hackensack 1896 map" (without the quotes) in eBay's search box.
