A very late Colton imprint, and probably the firm's last year of publication. In 1898, the firm became "Colton, Ohman & Co." and continued to issue maps until 1901 (see our #5085). The map is printed on both sides. Printed color, folded loosely into printed light brown card board covers 14x9 with "Guide Map Of New York City Issued By The Merchants' Association of New York New York Life Building (Ground Floor) 1897" in black; to left of title is beautiful illustration of the "New York Life Building", and above the title reads "To Foster the Trade and Commerce of New York".
