Beschreibung
Handcolored folding map, 28 x 21 1/2 inches (72 x 54 1/2 cm). 12mo. Original embossed cloth boards, title stamped in gilt. Cloth a bit rubbed and sunned, minor tanning and foxing. Very good. A rare and handsome early railroad pocket map of Illinois. The lefthand side contains an index of railroads present on the map, including those in-progress, and an index of towns and connecting service is printed on the right. The map itself is lithographed by Henry Acheson, with handcolored yellow, pink and green state boundaries, though the indexes and elaborately engraved border are printed. Illinois had little railroad presence at all until the early 1840s, at which point an explosion of development in the middle of the century transformed it into the railroad hub of the nation. Scarce - OCLC locates ten copies, Rare Book Hub records no other copy since 1966, and Byrd locates only the Graff copy. GRAFF 874. BYRD 2256. KARROW 4:1552. OCLC 5486689, 3527426, 908992369, 1153995508. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM58928
