Up for sale is a great, original, colored, ANTIQUE MAP from the THE OFFICIAL ATLAS OF KANSAS - 1887.
It features maps of SUMNER COUNTY + CONWAY SPRINGS & BELLE PLAINE. (NOTE: There is a blue "square" marker spot at the top of this map just under the title.)
On the reverse side are maps of DOUGLAS, LEON, WINGATE & LATHAM and on the other side HARPER. (NOTE: There are some black/brown smudges on this side of the map.)
It is a detailed map measuring approximately 29 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches, 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.
There are tears down one side from where it was originally bound.
It is generally in Very Good - Condition. Some age related browning and toning and some spotting and stains. It 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, 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.
