Engraved by Alvin J. Johnson and printed in 1902 by D. Appleton and Company, this is a beautiful, 106-year-old color map of the city of St. Louis. It measures about 10 3/4 by 13 3/4 inches (about 27 by 35 cm.), and is in Fine condition. The map contains a wealth of detail down to the street level, and includes routes of old railroads and horse-drawn street cars. Several old landmarks are shown, many of which are no longer in existence today. A list of dozens of them is printed in the corner and keyed to the map including railroad stations, hotels, theaters, public buildings, colleges and hospitals, churches and synagogues, and more.
This is a guaranteed genuine antique map!
It ships complete with Certificate of Authenticity, documenting source, maker and date of printing.
Ideal for genealogy or historical research, this map was printed on a single sheet of stock, hinged in the center and blank on the reverse, and bound whole in an antique book. There are no marks or stains and the paper is clean and not brittle. Highly suitable for framing, this map would look great in your office, library, den or study. It is similar to many of the maps sold in expensive mail-order catalogues and department stores, with one important difference: this is an actual antique, NOT a modern reproduction. Treat this map well, as it will appreciate in value with the passage of time. Please ask all questions before placing your bid.
