Asher and Adams (sold)
Asher and Adams (fl. c. 1860 - c. 1900) were New York based cartographers active in the latter part of the 19th century. Active in the 1860s and 70s, the New York firm of Asher & Adams produced some of the most detailed and colorful late 19th century American Atlases. Asher & Adams are known for their remarkable state and county atlases which are so detailed that they include individual family homes and names. The Asher & Adams firm followed the quality and style formats pioneered by the earlier Colton and Johnson firms - notable for their distinctive pastel color washes and impressive size. Their most important work is their 1874 Asher & Adams Commercial and Statistical Gazetteer of the United States which is one of the first 19th century atlases to remove topographical information to make room for detailed depictions of railroads.

This is a visually striking and rare 1874 Matthew Drips and Asher and Adams map of the greater New York City area. Innovatively combining detailed land surveys with the work of the U.S. Coast Survey, the map depicts the New York City area from Sandy Hook and Monmouth County, north to include Staten Island, Newark, Manhattan and Yonkers. Coverage extends eastward into Long Island as far as Hicksville, Jericho and Freeport. All of Brooklyn, Jamaica Bay, and Queens are illustrated, along with parts of Westchester and much of northeastern New Jersey. The farmlands, islands, swamps, and parks of the region are also illustrated. The Croton Aqueduct appears as a thin black line in Westchester and the Bronx. Nautically, this map is heavily based upon the 1856 U.S. Coast survey of the same region compiled under the direction of A. D. Bache. It includes thousands of depth soundings and notes channels, buoys, and lighthouses where appropriate. (more details)
