City of Norwich, Connecticut.
Boston: D.H. Hurd & Co., 1893.
Map. Lithograph with hand coloring. Image measures 18 x 28".
This double-page map depicts the City of Norwich in New London County, Connecticut. Features insets of Norwich town, and the North Eastern Portion of 3rd District. Significant roads, railroads, topographical features, buildings, and landmarks are all labeled.
The map appeared as plates 134 and 135 in D.H. Hurd and Co.'s "Town and city atlas of the state of Connecticut." Maps of other towns in New London County on verso. The map is a clear impression on bright paper. Overall wear to margins and center seam. Two closed tears at lower margin, not affecting the image.
D.H. Hurd & Co. published only two atlases: one of New Hampshire and one of Connecticut. Yet their volumes are distinctive for their attention to detail, with each state divided into small regions that display a wealth of information related to property, topography, and infrastructure. This map exemplifies the publishing firm's scarce work.
