One double atlas folio colour lithograph map sized 28 x 40.5 professionally mounted on archival linen sized 32 x 45 in., w/ scale of 1:24,000 (minor edgewear, slight age toning at fore-edges, and lower corner), still a VG bright copy. First edition of this very uncommon Progressive Era map of Portland, Oregon in the years between the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition, and World War I. The map depicts public lands including township, range and section grids, along with neighborhood and addition place names, steam & electric interurban railroads, and electric streetcar lines, along with parks, city limits, and radial distances from point in downtown Portland included. Place names included Zion Town, the old steel bridge built in 1888, followed by a new Steel bridge which opened later in 1912, the Plank/Old Canyon Road, Laurelhurst, and others. Of particular interest beyond most maps of Portland during the era, this map delineates a significant portion of Vancouver, Washington prior to the construction of the Interstate Bridge across Hayden Island, as well as inroads into portions of Northwest Portland and Washington County in the Southwest. Fritsche (1877-1928) was an intrepid German-American photo-lithographer, architect, printer, and later photographer who first arrived in New York, before coming West to the Pacific Northwest in 1907, where he set up an architecture and engraving firm with his brother Rudolph Fritsche. Wenzel is perhaps best remembered as architect of the historic Henry C. & Wilhemina Bruening House Craftsman bungalow located at 5919 North Williams in Portland's Humboldt neighborhood erected in 1910. However, by 1914 Wenzel had returned to Manhattan with his family including one son and three daughters. Worldcat locates 5 copies (U of IL, Boston Pub., OHS, Reed, U of O).…
