This is great NY City Subway map Compliments of Miller's Restaurant, 144 Fulton St., NYC. It shows Miller's location in lower Manhattan on the Hagstrom map. It mentions the Subway several times and "will tell you how to get to Miller's". There are "When Going to Miller's" and "When Leaving Miller's" instructions for the Subway on front, as well as their Daily Specials. All Subways lead to Miller's they proclaim!!! There's a cool illustration of a Chef and the Restaurant on cover, and photo of the inside of Restaurant also. The excellent map is Hagstrom coded X-SM, or 0-48. It measures 9.5" x 17.5".
This is one of many maps from the collection of Robert B. Sosman I will be listing over the next several months. Robert Browning Sosman, 1881-1967, spent his early life after college doing experimental activity at the Geophysical Laboratory as a physicist and chemist. He was a pioneer in American ceramics and professor of ceramics at Rutgers University from 1947 to 1962. He spent a great deal of time after graduating college in 1903, traveling the U.S. and the world , analyzing soil compositions, giving lectures, and whatever else was required of a physicist and chemist. He collected maps from everywhere. He had many related to transportation, subways, railways, streetcars etc.. Some were probably just for him to get around, with some related to his job. Living in Westfield, NJ, there are many from around that area, Bergen County and New York City. There are many scarce and unique Subway maps, as well as other maps. I acquired a large selection of his maps and ephemera at auction in Boonton in the early 2000's. I sold much of the travel brochures and ephemera a long time ago, but kept most of the maps. I'm ready to pass them on now.
