The city of Chicago was
incorporated in 1837, and the "Windy City" has grown to become the
largest city in the mid-western United States, and the third largest in
the country. Printed three years after a third of the city was
destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, this beautiful map provides
a look at the city in the midst of rebuilding. Complete reference list
below.

All reproduction prints are
printed as "museum quality", using advanced ink formulas and durable
museum quality paper. The reproduction prints reflect the state of
repair of the original conserved document. Stains and imperfections
reflected in the original map at the time it was collected for
conservation are left un-retouched, as they reflect the character and
charm of the vintage original. Some major imperfections, such as dark
fold lines have been removed when possible. Maps are printed as ordered
and are not returnable unless received damaged. |
