Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·John Anderson Jr. was born in 1773 in New York City. 

·Washington Irving visted Anderson Jr. at the age of 11 in 1794. Anderson Jr. lent Irving some of his “drawing books to ‘look over’” in addition to “a small volume.” Irving would go on to write short stories such as “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Rip Van Winkle.” 

·Anderson Jr. began drawing the second state version of the first post-revolutionary large scale plan of New York City on April 21, 1796. On May 3, 1796, map and print seller David Longworth paid him for the map, placing an advertisement on May 9 in the New York Daily Advertiser “announcing that a large plan of the city of New York would be available in the new American Almanac.” According to Bonhams: “bibliographers, think, however, that the map was never bound in, as no copies of it are known with the Anderson map.” 

·John Anderson Jr. died of Yellow Fever in 1798. 

·The first state version of the first post-revolutionary large scale plan of New York City was drawn by Anderson Jr. and engraved by Peter Rushton Maverick in 1795 and known as the “Maverick Plan.” 

·The first state version of the first post-revolutionary large scale plan of New York City exemplifies the rapid development of New York City in the post-war years. According to raremaps.com, it shows “the boundaries of the city's seven wards have been reorganized; the old Anglo-Dutch fort at the Battery razed and replaced with Government House; Broadway extended and Greenwich Street completed; the huge De Lancey and Rutgers estates (either side of Bowery Lane, and east of Catharine Street, respectively) surveyed in anticipation of development; and numerous public buildings, churches, markets and wharves constructed.” 

·According to Encyclopedia Britanica: “Despite the loss of the national government, New York’s population skyrocketed in 1781–1800, and it became America’s largest city.”  

·According to History.com: “In 1811, the “Commissioner’s Plan” established an orderly grid of streets and avenues for the undeveloped parts of Manhattan north of Houston Street. In 1837, construction began on the Croton Aqueduct, which provided clean water for the city’s growing population.”
