Vintage map of Manhattan, New York by H. Körner and L. Walter - ca. 1970

This early illustrated city map presents the island of Manhattan, New York, with a distinctive bird's-eye perspective that highlights the architecture and urban density. Created by H. Körner and L. Walter, this geographical document is a tourist guide that depicts the building blocks in relief, providing a three-dimensional view of the city. Major landmarks (such as Rockefeller Center and Times Square) are highlighted with bright colors (pink, yellow, light blue) and numbers for easy location. The map includes detailed sections such as the Financial District (with Whitehall and Wall Street) and neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little Italy, Greenwich Village, Midtown, and Harlem. Additional insets at the top left and bottom right offer plan views of key areas and an orientation map of the New York City area. Credits to the authors, H. Körner and L. Walter, are visible at the bottom. The map is dominated by ochre tones for standard buildings, green for parks (Central Park is very visible), and light blue for rivers (North River/Hudson and East River). The map measures approximately 27 cm by 55 cm.
