original 1912 printing of "A Plan of the City of Hartford (Preliminary Report)" published by the Commission on the City Plan of Hartford, Connecticut. Printed by the Hartford Press (The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Company). This scarce document is a foundational piece of New England urban planning history, engineered by the legendary Beaux-Arts architectural duo Carrère & Hastings (famed architects of the New York Public Library). The report is an exemplary artifact of the early 20th-century City Beautiful Movement
100% complete and includes all original fold-out map plates and photographic illustrations.
Includes specialized zoning and neighborhood layout maps, such as the Suggested Type of Layout for Factory Sites & Workingmen's Homes
Features crisp photographic plates detailing local streetscapes of the era (including Asylum St., Hopkins St., and the St. Germain terrace).
Excellent antique condition. The textured brown paper wrap cover shows only minor corner wear and slight edge-toning. The interior pages and fold-out maps are remarkably bright, crisp, and clean with no heavy foxing, tears, or structural splits along the folds.
Thanks for looking
