Chicago
New York: Hilton & Hughes in Atlas of the World, 1885. 1885 Edition. Chicago, 10 3/4 x 13 1/2 : St. Louis, 10 3/4 x 14 1/2; Illinois, 14 x 20, with inset of Chicago and Vicinity of 8 1/2 x 6. This map was printed in color and came from an atlas most likely produced by the Bradley Firm that was successor to the Mitchell firm. Further it was apparently published for the firm of Hilton and Hughes whom are listed on the title page as publisher. The map of Chicago and also of St. Louis are pure Mitchell. The map of Illinois is a superb rarecord of the contemporary railroad networks. The map of Illinois is difficult to find in the marketplace and is from a rare late 19th century atlas. Very Good condition with several small tears repaired with archival mending tape. Item #22
