Issued Philadelphia, 1889 by William Bradley & Bros.

Oversized and quite uncommon late-19th century antique map. Engraved and lithographed with original hand color.

Fascinating map, much nicer than one might think at a quick glance. The three proposed trans-oceanic canals are rarely found together in such detail as insets on a single map, making this one of note. Florida shown with an excellent level of detail, there being no railroad line within hundreds of miles of Miami at this time.

Features 7 inset maps, all of which display a profusion of interior details.

In near VG or better condition, minor light surface age wear and toning as typical, but overall a superior visual example. Trivial old light dampstaining along the edges of the wide blank margins, scarcely worthy of mention.

Original fold line as issued.

Sheet measures c. 26" x 19"

Engraved area measures c. 21 1/2" x 14 1/2"
