Views in the City of New-York and its EnvironsTheodore Sedgwick Fay, 1831-[1834]FAY, Theodore Sedgwick (1807-1898). Views in the City of New-York and its Environs. New York: Peabody and Co., 1831[-1834]. The "Peabody Views" of New York, in the original parts with all the plates. "The Peabody prints offer fascinating glimpses of New York in the 1830s" (Deák). The book was originally issued in parts; ten were planned, but only eight were published through 1834, and the eighth "part" is just 4 pages of text appended to part seven. Theodore S. Fay later became a novelist and worked for the Department of State; this is his first publication. The street map of lower Manhattan to 52nd St bears the title "Map of the City of New-York compiled and surveyed by William Hooker" and was issued with part five in 1832. BAL 5686; Deák 399 (mistakenly describes 16 plates plus the map); Stokes 3:599-603 (16 plates including the map, as here). Seven parts, quarto (283 x 227mm). Title with lithographed vignette, half-page slip in vol. 3, 15 engraved plates with tissue guards, most with multiple views, a folding handcolored map of New York by William Hooker (lacking final two text leaves, map repaired at creases, browning and spotting throughout, dampstaining to some volumes, occasional small repairs at edges, final plate trimmed). Original yellow printed wrappers (backstrips renewed, some volumes with a little chipping, some dampstaining and soiling). Custom chemise and slipcase.
