Item description from seller

Map. Color lithograph. Sheets measure 36 x 25.5 inches, with publishers green cloth case, title in gold. This scarce Walker map of Boston and surroundings dates to 1894. Covers from Acton to Marblehead and Salem, and from Wilmington south as far as Norwood, depicting the region during the late nineteenth century. Issued during a time when the city had grown dramatically and residents began to move out to surroundings regions, this map was intended to be used by those traveling in and around Boston. Beautifully detailed with roads, railways, towns, islands, ferry and steamer lines, ports, and harbors labeled throughout. Concentric circles illustrating mile increments emanate from the State House in Boston. This map, copyrighted by George Walker and Co. in 1892 was published at the Boston Map Store by Damrell and Upham. The map is in good condition with some wear and toning. Minor tears along some original fold intersections. Folds into original binder. George H. Walker & Company was a publishing firm in Boston in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. George H. Walker and Oscar W. Walker started the firm in 1880 and were known for travel maps of New England. This is a beautiful example of their work.…
