In den WarenkorbVery good. Verso repairs to fold separations. Closed tear extending one-and-one-quarter (1.25) inches into printed area from left margin professionally repaired on verso. Size 21.25 x 27.75 Inches. This is a striking 1875 Samuel D. Tilden map of Connecticut in an astounding well-preserved state. With intense color, Tilden's map…focuses on Connecticut's well-established but still growing road and railroad network. A Closer Look Strong color highlights townships across Connecticut. Connecticut's extensive railroad network is detailed, including the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad; the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad; the Connecticut Western Railroad; and the Hartford, Providence, and Fishkill Railroad. Proposed new railroads are marked by dashed black lines. Steamboat lines connecting Norwalk, Bridgeport, Derby, New Haven, Hartford, Norwich, New London, and Stonington with New York City are noted in Long Island Sound. The northeastern most part of Long Island is included along the bottom border with Greenport, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island, and Montauk named. Tables line the left and right borders and detail Connecticut's counties, providing census data for both 1860 and 1870. Publication History and Census This map was published by Samuel D. Tilden and printed in 1875 by Bingham and Dodd. It is well represented in institutional collections. The present example is the cleanest examples to appear on the private market in years. Most known examples varnished and suffer related typical condition issues. The present example is an exception in that it has never been varnished and retains bright original color and strong paper integrity. If this map is on your radar, this is the one you want.
