Beautiful, antique map of Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before the Benjamin Franklin Parkway was built. This is an authentic map taken from Elvino V. Smith's rare "Atlas of the 6th, 9th & 10th Wards of the City of Philadelphia" published in 1908 and is NOT a computer reproduction. Plate #20.
See what Philadelphia looked like over 110 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details sale and contours, including property owner's names as well as geographical points of interest. All streets are named and buildings numbered. It is a colorful and large map that will be a showpiece wherever it is presented. Verso is blank.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Condition: Good or "Very Vintage" condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 110 years old. Has some real wear, toning, foxing, tape repair, some writing and slight warbling but this will flatten easily and all will read as real vintage character when framed.
