Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Good. Backed with archival tissue. Some fill repairs. Fold reinforcement. Size 18.25 x 31.5 Inches. A striking 1878 promotional map broadsheet issued to promote travel on the St. Louis and Texas Short Line. Two Maps Two maps on one sheet, this broadside both focuses on the Texas Short Line and the broader regional context. The smaller map, at right, illustrates the eastern United States with the route of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain, and Southern Railway highlighted. A second much larger map, occupying the left, provides a detail view of the Short Line noting all stops between Saint Louis and Texarkana, where it connects to other lines extending throughout Texas. The broadsheet is surrounded by advertising promoting the railroad as the shortest route from St. Louis, Missouri and Cairo, Illinois, to Texas, and offering 200lbs of luggage free to emigrant passengers. Advertisement for various services associated with the railroad appear on verso. St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway The St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway ran thorough Missouri and Arkansas connecting St. Louis, Missouri and Cairo, Illinois with Texarkana, Texas. The railroad was established to transport Iron Ore from Iron Mountain, Missouri to St. Louis, leading it to be referred to as the Iron Mountain Railway. It expanded through several mergers around 1878 to reach Texas and was thus renamed the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. The railroad further expanded acquiring other connecting rail lines until 1883, when it was absorbed by the railroad tycoon Jay Gould's expanding network. In 1917, it merged with the Missouri Pacific, which in turn merged in 1982 with the Union Pacific. Publication History and Census This broadsheet map was published in 1878 by the Texas and Pacific Railway Company and engraved and printed by the St. Louis firm of Woodward, Tiernan, and Hale. We have identified examples in the Rumsey collection at Stanford and Princeton University. There are five sales records from 1997. References: OCLC 953571832. Rumsey 5233.001.…
