Vintage map of New York City theaters – 1950s/60s

Dive into the heart of Broadway's golden age with this detailed vintage map of New York, published by the famous Hagstrom publishing house in the 1950s or 1960s. Entitled "Hagstrom's Map of New York Theaters, Hotels & Shopping District," this 68 x 78 cm map offers an ultra-precise view of Midtown Manhattan, centered on the legendary avenues of Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Each building is color-coded: theaters in red, hotels in yellow, shops and restaurants in blue or green, creating a vivid panorama of the city that never sleeps. A comprehensive legend on the right side lists more than 300 establishments categorized by type (performances, accommodations, shops), at a time when Manhattan shone with a thousand cultural lights. A truly practical tool for visitors of the period, this map is today an iconic document for theater enthusiasts, collectors of historical New York maps or for retro urban and cultural wall decoration. Dimensions: 68*78 cm
