Up for sale is a great, colored antique MAP OF NEBRASKA - GEORGE F. CRAM COMPANY ENGRAVERS & PUBLISHERS, CHICAGO.
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 left and right sides of the map, it lists the counties, and towns of Nebraska.
This map is from the "STANDARD ATLAS OF HARLAN COUNTY - NEBRASKA". 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 1921.
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 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. There is some writing on the map - circling of some cities in ink. I think this was added by a previous owner.
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.
