Buffalo, NY: The Matthews-Northrup Co. Complete Art-Printing Works, [1897]? Large broadsheet, 36 x 17 1/4 inches folded to narrow 8vo, the recto with 18 panels of promotional material for the "tourist, sportsman, invalid, and prospector," the verso with a map of Florida showing the lines of the Florida Central & Peninsular R.R. ("Geographically Correct Indexed Township Map of Florida, Middle and Southern Georgia, and Southern South Carolina"), with inset maps of "Western Portion of Florida" (3 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches) and "Southeastern Portion of the United States" (10 1/4 x 6 3/4 inches) and an inset "Index to Places in Florida." At head of title: "Information Folder - January, 1898." Servies 9661 states that there are issues of 1892, 1894, and 1896-1899 in the catalogue of the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and the University of Florida Smathers Library (a search of its online catalogue failed to turn up any of those); Servies 10884 lists an 1894 map under this title at Florida State (a search of its online catalogue did not find it). Not recorded on OCLC (which does record the 1894 edition of the map, at the University of South Florida, as described in Servies 10884, without the promotional material). A little wear to edges, but a fine copy otherwise. Original illustrated wrapper panel. (#6338). Item #58678
