🗽 The Iconic Manhattan Poster — Antique Edition: a vintage wall art map of New York’s most storied borough 🗽

The Iconic Manhattan Antique Edition invites you to experience Gotham through a warm, old-world lens—no passport required. Rendered in timeless sepia tones, this vintage-style illustrated map evokes memory, history, and wonder—whether Manhattan is your hometown, a cherished journey, or a place you dream of visiting.

Composed of 700+ hand-drawn icons, this Antique Edition mosaic map celebrates landmarks, bridges, parks, architecture, and cultural legends—from Central Park, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Flatiron Building, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, and the United Nations to Wall Street, Washington Square Arch, Bryant Park, Times Square, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The softened palette and aged aesthetic give the island a museum-catalog aura, inviting you to trace its streets and stories as if leafing through an old atlas.

Encircling the artwork is a legend of 150+ icons in brown silhouette, carefully labeled to help you identify major buildings, monuments, museums, theaters, churches, and must-see places. Inside the map, hundreds more icons reveal Manhattan’s layered identity—historic neighborhoods, beloved parks, architectural gems, and pop-culture figures—woven into a harmonious, vintage composition.
