The image features two black-and-white maps depicting data about New York City, specifically focusing on the height or zoning of buildings. The maps are arranged on a plain beige background with a title at the top that reads "Heights of Buildings, New York City." Below the maps, there is a typed caption providing context.

The caption discusses land use patterns in New York City, highlighting "unimproved property" in outlying areas where black regions are visualized on the maps. It notes how municipal governments retain land for future development. The source cited is the "Report of the Heights of Buildings Commission, 1913."

The maps themselves visually differentiate areas based on data about building heights (or zoning), with darker shaded regions representing specific aspects of the cityscape. This visual organization suggests insights into urban planning or regulation during the early 20th century.

By these the municipality was the last to restrict areas in many districts to one-family homes and used more stringent limitations on building areas. [Source: Report of the Height of Buildings Commission, New York, 1913.]"
