Portland Maine 1890's Colby Stuart city plan businesses owners hotels hospital

City of Portland and Vicinity. Cumberland County, ME.

(Maine- urban maps of 19th century America- waterfront cities)

Issued c.1890-1900, Maine for Stuart & Colby.

Lovely large format antique city plan, Lithographed with full hand color.  Oblong folio sheet map.

Splendid level of detail, a great period plan of the city. Extensive Reference Keys are found lower left and middle right side, listing many dozens of specific features, businesses, schools, churches, hospitals, cemeteries, owners names, trades, etc.

Minor light toning and small scattered age spotting as typical for maps of this vintage, perhaps small minor paper flaws, but to our eyes and for most people, an entirely acceptable and nice looking example of this antique map.

Original fold line as issued.

Sheet measures c. 29 1/2" W x 18" H.

Printed area measures c. 25 1/2" W x 17 1/8" H.
