This large and decorative wall map of New York, titled "The Empire State," was published by Ensign, Bridgman & Fanning. The map was published in 1861, the first year of the Civil War. The map is hand colored, with state and county outlines. The bordering states of New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont are not colored.
The elaborate surrounding decorative border gives a snapshot of the state and it's history during the mid 19th century. The left column provides text pertaining to New York state history, boundary lines, geology, and forestry. On the right, a column of text explains the state's current laws, including voting procedures divided by race, rights of men and married women in the state, the procedures for the collection of debts, wills, and deeds, as well as homestead exemptions. Vignettes of Henry Hudson, Portage Falls, and statistics from the 1860 census also populate the map.
At upper right is an inset with an artistic rendering of the New York State seal. Allegorical representation of Lady Liberty and Justice support a shield as an American eagle spreads its wings above a globe. A banner rests at their feet and states the New York State motto, "Excelsior," which is Latin for "Ever Upward". "Excelsior" is also printed at the bottom left and right corners of the map.
Of note is a large and detailed birds eye view of Central Park in New York City inset at bottom. Central Park was first approved in 1853 as a 778-acre park. In 1857, landscape architects Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux won a competition to construct the park with their plan, originally titled the "Greensward Plan". Construction began the same year, and the park's first areas were opened to the public in late 1858. Additional land at the northern end of Central Park was purchased in 1859; the beginning of that expansion can be seen in this view.
