Description: It is an authentic antique map from a 1926 edition of George Clason's Touring Atlas of the United States, published by the Clason Map and Publishing Company, Denver and Chicago. Although there were some earlier regional automobile touring books, often with more text than maps, Clason is noted as publishing the first nationwide Auto Touring Atlas in 1923, in the format as we basically know it today. Clason continued to publish his auto atlases until 1931 when the business folded during the Great Depression. A copy of the title page is included for authenticity. The towns are indexed in the margins with populations. The map is not mounted nor matted, being sold as a single sheet as seen in the first pic with a centerfold as issued. A very nice early auto touring map that would frame up nicely for the antique car enthusiast or maybe great for a road trip on forgotten roads. There is a similar map or text on the reverse.
Size: The page measures 12 by 16 1/4 inches with a margin all around for matting as seen in the pic.
Condition: It is in Good condition for its age with very light tonal ageing with damp staining around the edges and centerfold, otherwise the map is fairly clean on a strong page with a rich patina that would frame up well, see the pics for more on the condition. This map is for those looking for a stressed antique quality. The pics are of the actual map.
