[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9578699, member: 76316"]The sheet with the image is ~11" X ~18"; the page itself is ~13" X ~20 1/2". The maps from the volume were sold individually years ago (they were all loose) by my lady, who had inherited them (with many others) from her father. For my assistance in photographing an' cataloging them at that time, she gifted this page to me. At one time I had a good familiarity with their age, but in the service of housekeeping of digital images an' documents, all that is lost...all I have in my head now is that Schenck was a cartographer of some renown. There are actually 3 pieces of paper here; the 11X18 image, which is layered an' adhered to the 13X~21" page, to which the tab of binding paper the larger sheet is glued, cut from the original binding. Pics of the back an' other details will be posted immediately following this one. Based on the prices realized for the sold maps, I don't think there is any great value in this, save for a very few collectors...an' even then, as it seems to have suffered some unknown degree of fading, probably not much. But sharing it here will perhaps delight some of you, an' your comments may provide bits of information that will prove valuable in my attempt to recall what I knew about it years ago. Thanks for lookin'!
