Up for sale is a great, colored antique MAP OF THE WORLD - THE GEORGE F. CRAM COMPANY ENGRAVERS & PUBLISHERS, CHICAGO.  1909

It is a very detailed map, measuring approximately 29 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches, including the border area.  It is blank on the reverse side.  On the top and sides of the map are several statistics, including Great Ship Canals of the World, Longest Rivers, Famous Waterfalls of the World, Railroad Mileage of the World, and more!

This map is from the "STANDARD ATLAS OF GRAND FORKS COUNTY - NORTH DAKOTA".  Including a Plat Book of the Villages, Cities and Townships of the County.  Map of the State, United States and World.  Patrons Directors, Reference Business Directory and Departments devoted to General Information.  Compiled and published by George A. Ogle & Co., Publishers & Engravers, Chicago.  Copyright 1909.

Maps this early and showing this much detail are a great piece of history!  The map has fantastic coloring to it.  There is a crease up the middle of the map from where it was bound.  

 

Map is generally in Very Good condition. Some age related browning and toning and some spotting and stains. The map has some small tears and chips around the edges, but they do not affect the map, as well as some other stains here and there.  Some other dings here and there.  A few damp stains across the top border, as well.

This map would be a great addition to any collection and will look very nice when framed!  

Please note that while I have included a picture of the Title Page of the Atlas that this map was taken from, it is NOT included in the sale, as it is a reference piece to determine authenticity for the other maps.  I would be happy to include a copy if requested.

Please see my store for other great items.
