In den Warenkorb14 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches. Zustand: Very good. 1872. Two states, Indiana and Ohio are set into this well executed cartographic presentation using a grapevine motif for the external decorative borders. Railroads ar most prominent along with the individually colored counties. The Ohio River forms the lower border of the colored area.… The riverine commerce of the day was highly complemented by the railroads. By this time, the riverine commerce had lost its high value, low bulk items to the ubiquitous capacities of the railroads. This made it much easier to export grains and produce to New York by feeding the Erie Canal of the railroads connecting to New York City and its port.For the Ohio, it brought qlarge quantities of sugar and cotton to the northern states. W. H. Gamble (illustrator).
