Up for sale is a great, original, colored, ANTIQUE MAP from the THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF KANSAS - 1887.
It features ABILENE AND ENVIRONS - DICKINSON COUNTY.
It is blank on the reverse side.
It is a detailed map measuring approximately 25" x 27 1/2", including the border area.
This map is from "THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF KANSAS" - Compiled from Government Surveys, County Records and Personal Investigations. Published by L.H. Everts & Co. 1887, Philadelphia, PA. - Copyright, 1887, L.H. Everts & Co.
It is generally in Good- Condition. It is on thin paper and there is some age related browning and toning and some spotting and stains. It has some tears and chips around the edges. There are some wrinkles and creases that are not from the original folds. There is an 11" horizontal tear from the left side, extending into the map. The right edge is creased. Other dings here and there, 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 other maps/engravings.
Please see my store for other great items.
