With the 19th century innovations of publishing and technology, the world became a smaller place and one which anyone could become acquainted with. As these changes blossomed, the fledgling company of Rand McNally realized the interest in small accessible material, and produced a pocket atlas. These maps carry handy reference information, and were up to date for the period. They include cities, some towns as well as some roads. They have their own charm and would be great for framing, and decorative use. This map measures 3 by 5 inches. Seller Inventory # 70306

Rand McNally & Company, still a major name in map publishing to this day, began as a small print shop opened in Chicago in 1856 by William H. Rand. The shop originally printed guidebooks and directories. In 1858 Rand hired Andrew McNally, who was later to become a partner. Within the next few years the shop got into the railroad business by starting to print railway tickets and schedules, a key step in the development of the company. The ticket printing led to the publishing of railway guides, and by 1872 Rand McNally and Company had the capacity to publish maps. These maps of Columbia and Brazil were published in Rand McNally's "Commercial Atlas," which was a highly successful run of atlases that lasted over a decade. These atlases were primarily used by business because of their accurate listing of railroads in operation as well as tables of statistical information. This map measures 19 by 12.5 inches.
