Chicago
N.p.: N.p. n.y. [ca. 1890s?]. 10½" X 13". Very good. Slight bit of edgewear, with quite small loss of coated surface (only) at upper right and lower right corners, not affecting image and touching upon outermost printed border at upper corner only. Printed entirely in black on heavy orange coated stock, with lake and major thoroughfares accented in green. Titled simply "Chicago" at upper right, with "Reference to Figures" in fine print below and two small columns below this itemizing "Depots" (22 stops) and "Some of the Principal Hotels" (12 locations). "Steam Roads" and "Horse Roads" are also identified. Attractive if cryptic -- possibly printed by George F. Cram for one of the many editions of his "Universal Atlas" or "Unrivaled Atlas of the World," for the similarities are striking. .

Golfo Del Mexico
Chicago, The Newberry Library, 1977. Color printed facsimile on heavy stock 12" X 19" cream stock. Near fine. Handsome high-quality facsimile of one gore housed at the Herman Dunlap Smith cartographic collection, being a portion of a 42" globe Coronelli produced in 1688. It depicts a central portion of North America and the Great Lakes, including the Mississippi River that la Salle explored just a few years previous (1682) -- with the mouth of the Mississippi placed much too far to the west. Accompanied by printed Newberry Library transmittal letter. Original Coronelli gores are virtually unobtainable and even this nice facsimile seldom seen. .
