Very good. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Light dampstaining in bottom left corner not effecting printed image. Size 30.25 x 116.5 Inches. Measuring just short of ten feet, this is an impressive 1929 Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway cyanotype or blueprint map of part of Lincoln, Nebraska, including all of the modern-day City Campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. A Closer Look The University of Nebraska appears near the left edge of the printed image, with 'State University' and 'University Addition' marking where the university had been and illustrating how it had grown. Both Memorial Stadium and the Nebraska Coliseum are illustrated and labeled, underscoring the importance of Nebraska Athletics. Both had been built only a few years before this map was printed. Curiously, no other buildings on campus are labeled, but businesses throughout the city are identified. Below the title, a notation advises the viewer that the present edition is 'Correct to June 12, 1947'. The Railroads While this map was made by the Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway and traces its tracks through the city, four other railways are illustrated as well. These are the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad; the Chicago and North Western Railroad; the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad; and the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Notations differentiate between the railroads. The Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway Founded in 1903, the Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway was created in an attempt to create passenger rail service between the three cities. The rails never extended outside of Lincoln, however it still operates as a private company to this day as a Class III switching railroad. Cyanotype: Why so Blue? Cyanotype is a photo-reprographic technique developed in 1842 by the British astronomer John Herschel (1792 - 1871). Sometimes called a 'sunprint', the technique employs a solution of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide , which painted on white paper or cloth, reacts when exposed to sunlight to dye the object a brilliant blue. Areas blocked from ultraviolet exposure remain undyed and white. Herschel developed the technique to reproduce his astronomical notes, but others quickly realized that any object capable of blocking light could be used to create a cyanotype image quickly and easily. By the late 19th century, the process became popular with designers, military, architects, and engineers (blueprints), who used the cheap and effective technique to quickly and exactly reproduce images in the field. Cyanotyping is limited in that only a single copy can be made at one time, so it was only practical for short-term field work. It is also of note that cyanotypes remain extremely reactive to light and, over time, fade or degrade, making them extremely ephemeral. The process fell out of fashion in most places by the 1920s but remains in use in some parts of the world, such as India and Nepal, to this day. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Omaha, Lincoln, and Beatrice Railway, on June 10, 1929, with corrections to June 12, 1947. This is the only known cataloged example of either edition of the map.

Very good. Light wear and toning along original fold lines. Closed margin tear professionally repaired on verso. Size 24.5 x 33.75 Inches. This is an 1893 Royal Geographical Society map of the Mombasa-Lake Victoria Railway in modern-day Kenya. The map details the early planning and construction stages of one of the worlds more infamous and loved heritage railroads, the famed 'Lunatic Line'. Parts of the railroad still run. Historical Context This map presents the survey work conducted by a team of five men, four of which were royal engineers, between Mombasa on the Indian Ocean and Kisumu on the shores of Lake Victoria. Both the projected and surveyed routes are illustrated here, with solid black lines marking projected routes and dotted lines following surveyed routes. Stations are marked along the projected lines, while the camps used by the surveyors are identified along their route. Rivers, lakes, and other topographical features are noted and numerous printed notations comment on the vegetation, terrain, and indigenous inhabitants. The Uganda Railway Construction began on the Uganda Railway, the only strategic railway constructed in tropical Africa at the time, in 1896. Built during the 'scramble for Africa', the railroad began operation in 1901, after suffering significant human losses due to disease, tribal resistance, and hostile wildlife, including the infamous man-eating Tsavo lions. All these factors, plus the exorbitant cost, earned the railroad the nickname Lunatic Line . Other than the obvious commercial impact, the Uganda Railroad also became an inseparable part of safari expeditions around the turn of the 20th century. Even former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt rode on the train, reportedly spending most of his time riding on the platform attached to the front of the locomotive. 'Scramble for Africa' The 'scramble for Africa' officially began with the 1884-85 Berlin Conference. The Berlin Conference was a meeting of colonial powers in Berlin during the New Imperialism Period. The resultant 'General Act of the Berlin Conference' is considered to be the formalization of the 'Scramble for Africa', wherein much of Africa was partitioned between major European powers (with little regard to the claims and priorities of the indigenous peoples). To claim territory, the delegates needed to prove 'effective occupation.' This means they needed to establish the existence of treaties with local powers, show that their flags were being flown (hence the identification of various flags on this map), or have active forts in the region. The conference marked a major change in the European approach to Africa. Initially European powers treated African peoples much like Native Americans, establishing trading relationships and alliances with indigenous kingdoms. After the Berlin Conference, heightened colonial activity and the need to prove effective occupation lead to the subjugation of most indigenous control. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Royal Geographical Society for publication in the August 1893 edition of The Geographical Journal from a map issued by the Intelligence Division of the War Office. Two examples are catalogued in the OCLC as being part of the collections at the University of Chicago and the University of Oxford. References: OCLC 53894348.
