Illinois One Hundred Years Ago: A Direct Reproduction of a Map of Illinois Published in 1834. The Panels Portray Important Events and Developments of the Period.

(Old Maps, North America, United States, Midwest, Illinois, Chicago, Lake Michigan, Lead Mine Region).

Issued 1935, Chicago by the Chicago Sunday Tribune.

Early 20th century color offset newspaper front page to the picture section depicting a reprint of an 1834 S. Augustus Mitchell map of Illinois. Decorative vignettes of Illinois history surround the map. Undoubtedly a very scarce ephemeral cartographic survival which by chance was saved.

As typical paper is quite fragile, old fold lines, still entirely worthy of display. Far scarcer than our price might indicate.

Well preserved, clean, should be handled with care, nice looking example with pleasing age patina.

Sheet Measures c. 10 3/4" H x 8" W.
