Item # 701593
June 15, 1861
LLOYD'S AMERICAN RAILROAD WEEKLY, New York, June 15, 1861 As the title would suggest, this newspaper focused on the railroad industry.
Most of the front page is taken up with: "An Historical And Descriptive Sketch of all Places of Interest in the Southern States" which was of interest at the time because of the Civil War.
But certainly the most intriguing aspect of this issue is the very large, color map titled: "LLOYD'S AMERICAN RAILROAD MAP Showing the Whole Seat of War".
This map is the complete foldout of this untrimmed, 8 page issue and measures a huge 39 by 49 1/2 inches. The map shows almost the entirety of the United States of the time, with the railroad routes present in 1861.
Folded into its normal 8 page format, never bound nor trimmed, this issue measures a typical 20 by 25 inches. Several older tape mends near margins, mild wear at the margins & central fold, generally in nice condition and an incredible display item with the very large, color, railroad map.
