About This Item
Chicago: Rand, McNally and Co, 1882. Lithographic broadside illustration printed in color measuring 11 x 5 ¾ inches. Closed tear to margin, paper reinforcement to corners verso, very good condition, quite bright and attractive. Very Good. An attractive advertisement for the Chicago and North-Western's routes to San Francisco, printed during the tenure of the railroad tycoon Marvin Hughitt as General Manager, a position he held from 1876 to 1880 before being named Second Vice President. The advertisement was printed by Rand, McNally and Company, which in its early years focused on railroad-related materials. The Omaha and California line of the Chicago and North-West Railway connected passengers from Chicago to California. Other maps printed by Rand, McNally and Co. during the period illustrate the route. We find no other examples of this broadside.
