The final years of the 19th Century marked the end of America’s westward expansion. The Wild West had not yet been completely tamed, but it was well on its way. Trains and banks were still being robbed, but the bandits were coming under increasing pressure from organized law enforcement. The West was quickly becoming as "civilized" as the East. This over 100 year old work was made using the wax-engraving map printing process pioneered by Rand McNally. This process created high-quality, low-cost maps and made the company the leading creator of maps in the United States (a position they enjoy to this day). This map shows the state’s major geographic features, counties, towns, cities, and railroads. If you are looking for an unusual piece of art, to decorate a home or office, these truly "limited-edition" prints are perfect. Antique engravings, & prints are extraordinary examples of the 19th Century printing and engraving arts. As conversation pieces they are unequaled. A beautiful old print or engraving is an actual snapshot of our history. Any of these, increasingly rare, works of art are also some of the most thoughtful (and personal) gifts you can give. Unlike so many other gifts, antique prints allow you to present someone a piece of the past.

McNally 1883 Antique Map of Idaho Territory

The United States in the 1880s was a nation on the brink of greatness. Almost two decades had passed since the Civil war threatened to tear the young nation apart. Now, united from north to south and from east to west (by a rapidly growing network of railroads), the U.S. was becoming a wealthy and powerful nation. This fascinating authentic antique map is an early work of the Rand McNally firm in Chicago, pioneers of the cerographic (wax-engraving) process, that allowed for the inexpensive printing of full-color maps. Originally a publisher of maps and timetables for the burgeoning railroad industry, Rand McNally's early maps focused on the expanding web of rail lines that linked nearly every corner of the nation. The various railroads, roads, counties, cites, towns, and geographic features are detailed on this relatively large map. If you are looking for an unusual piece of art, to decorate a home or office, these truly "limited-edition" (as it was made more than a century ago) prints are perfect. Antique maps, engravings, & prints are extraordinary examples of the 19th Century printing and engraving arts. As conversation pieces they are unequaled.
