New Commercial Atlas of Washington D.C. 

(Old Maps, Early 20th Century Maps, Americana, United States, Washington D.C., Capitol Building, White House, Naval Museum, Washington Monument, Arlington, Potomac River, Smithsonian).

Issued 1912, Chicago by Rand McNally for their huge Commercial Atlas.

Uncommon early 20th century oversized color lithograph map from a scarce commercial atlas. Much larger and scarcer than the usual, smaller Rand McNally maps of this period. This map is on an elephant folio size sheet and displays a level of detail not found on smaller maps.

Well preserved, nice looking example with pleasing age patina. Will look great and be small wall size if framed for display. Perfect for gift giving.

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 20 1/2" H x 28" W.

Engraved Area Measures c. 19" H x 25 1/2" W.
