Contact seller4-star sellerGood. Wear on old fold lines, especially at fold intersections. Laid down on original linen. Stable. Size 40 x 58 Inches. This is a 1903 Scarborough Company map of Massachusetts. Scarborough maps are widely admired for their boldly distinctive typography. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Massachusetts in detail, including road an…d train connections to adjacent states. Towns, townships, and counties are noted along with lakes, rivers, hills, and other physical features. Several indexes appear in the upper right and lower left, illustrating Massachusetts's cities, towns, counties, and principal natural features. Major shipping lines and associated companies are illustrated with their routes from Boston to various ports. Publication History and Census The Scarborough Company created and published this map in 1903. It replaced an earlier 1901-1902 map bundling Massachusetts with Connecticut and Rhode Island. We see no issues postdating 1903. However, we do see a photo-facsimile of the map issued in 1990 at the Leventhal Center of the Boston Public Library. We see perhaps 10 examples in OCLC (including the above 1990 facsimile), although physical holdings are somewhat difficult to parse due to the over-cataloging of digital-only resources.

Already a scarce map, this example is especially so due to the inclusion of the flags and portraits of rulers. We note only two examples of this presentation in institutional collections - at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Pennsylvania State University - and it has only appeared on the market once in recent years.
