<b>Maps</b><hr><b>'A New Map of the Great West'</b>

<b>1856, 'THE STATES AND TERRITORIES OF THE GREAT WEST,' By Jacob Ferris, NY: Miller, Orton, and Mulligan, Very Fine.</b>
Hardbound cloth with gilt impressions, cover well worn, 7.75' x 5.25', 352 pages, plus 12 pages of advertisements, and a folding map: 'A New Map of the Great West.' Map is separated along a vertical fold, also has a 4' split, and is cut from the book. Features railroads extending into Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio; handcolored in outline. Cover edges of the book are tattered, but the pages are crisp and clean--beautiful illustrations in the ads. Ex-Library. Sabin 24192; Graff 1309; Wagner-Camp 274a. An interesting find, both for the pre-Civil War map, and for the illustrated advertisements--some of which would be suitable for framing and display.
