Item description from seller

14 leaves (i.e. 28 pages) plus covers featuring seven hand-colored maps (numbered as 1-7) on rectos and opposing versos. Paperback folio: approximately H 21 5/16 inches x L 13 3/8 inches (H 54.3cm x L 34.2cm). Brown paper covers with some staining, soiling, and prevalent creasing as well as nicks and tears at edges; old tape rear to 4.5 inch horizontal tear at rear cover's center left extending inward from fore-edge; Sanborn imprint printed in black near bottom of front cover; original black cloth binding tape applied lengthwise along spine with slight fraying at ends. A few small stains and light soiling as well as a few pencil markings and annotations but, in overall general appearance, maps remain clean. Maps all specify "Copyright 1928" but several have printed initials/dates - Map #2 "G.H. | 1.29"; Map #4 "F.L. | 12.28"; Map #5 "F.P | 1.29"; Map #6 "G.H. | 1.29" - which are presumably the on-site cartographer's initials and month/year date notations. Index with Map #1 indicates that the folio has all seven maps that were prepared for the small city which, circa 1928, had approximately 2000 residents. {{Laid-in at folio's rear is an historically significant hand-drawn four-color downtown map tilted at top left "Fayette, Ala | 1912" uncredited but reflecting Sanborn detail recording structures, lots, building uses, etc. primarily on blocks 1-7, 11-12, and 16-19; approx. H 22 inches x L 24 inches; multiple folds/creases, soiling and toning, several tears one of which has an old short tape repair, small losses at corners; paper quality and specificity of notes certainly seem to make this map contemporary to the 1912 date and not a later re-creation.}} Located in lower northwest Alabama, Fayette is the county seat of Fayette County and lies north of Tuscaloosa County and west-northwest of Birmingham. Fayette's diminutve urbaness makes it unlikely that Sanborn would have prepared a large print run - certainly fewer than fifty and quite likely perhaps even half that number. Please note that although the folio has a shipping weight of under 1.5 pounds (.68 kg) its oversized dimensions will likely require additional postage and insurance above AbeBooks' preset rate for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.
