Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Very good. A few minor fold spits reinforced archivally on verso. Size 27 x 24.75 Inches. This 1912 Poole Brothers folding map of California was produced for the 'Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway' (often referred to simply as 'the Santa Fe'). It highlights the railway's transcontinental service, which brought passengers to the Grand Canyon and the upcoming Panama-Pacific and Panama-California Expositions, located in San Francisco and San Diego, respectively. A Closer Look This striking foldout map of California promotes potential stops on the Santa Fe Railroad, including the wonders of the Grand Canyon - certainly an enticing detour to any traveler of means. The main map displays the state of California and a portion of southern Nevada, shaded for relief, with cities and towns, rail lines (completed and in progress, with those of the Santa Fe and its subsidiaries bolded), steamship lines, county boundaries, and major topographic features (such as Death Valley and Lake Tahoe) noted. A large inset map at the top right displays the entire Santa Fe system between Chicago and California, with orange circles highlighting major stops and attractions (Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Yosemite National Park). Below the inset is a profile of elevation along the route, giving a sense of the dramatic changes in landscape awaiting passengers. Photographs around the map present hotels and tourist attractions in San Francisco, San Diego, and elsewhere in Arizona and California. The verso contains more photographs and promotional text, as well as timetables and fares for the railway's luxurious sleeper-only Pullman service, information on weather and events taking place in California cities, the locations of Santa Fe offices in various cities, and explanations of side tours, as far as the Pacific Northwest, offered by the Santa Fe. A Tale of Two Expositions Large hand illustrations point to San Francisco and San Diego, indicating the locations of the dueling Panama-Pacific and Panama-California Expositions, both of which would be easily accessible via the Santa Fe (which had acquired the Southern California Railway in 1906) and its subsidiaries and partners. Towards the end of the first decade of the 20th century, both cities proposed plans to host an international exposition to celebrate the coming completion of the Panama Canal. The two cities were hardly comparable; San Francisco had a population ten times larger, was better known internationally, and had the added incentive of a desire to celebrate the city's recovery from the destructive earthquake and fire of 1906. But planners in San Diego pressed ahead, even while lacking the backing of both the state and federal governments that San Francisco's exposition enjoyed. In the end, however, funding from bond measures and determination by the San Diego planners resulted in an impressive event (lasting throughout 1915 and 1916), even if it has been far less remembered than its San Francisco rival (February - December 1915). Balboa Park was completely remade, and several of the exposition's structures were retained permanently (more than in San Francisco). The exposition's exotic animal displays laid the foundation for the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (often shortened to 'the Santa Fe') was chartered on February 11, 1859, with the stated goal of joining Atchison and Topeka, Kansas with Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Santa Fe reached Albuquerque in 1880 and began creating real estate offices to sell off the land granted to them across Kansas for settlers to make the route economically viable. Santa Fe, the original destination, was reached by a spur branch of the railway from Lamy, New Mexico. Eventually, when the Santa Fe connected with the Southern Pacific at Deming, New Mexico, it completed the second transcontinental railroad route. In 1897, when the Santa Fe traded a railroad line.
