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.

We are proud to offer this map of Cuba, originally produced as part of Rand McNally's Enlarged Business Atlas, dated 1891. Although the table of contents shows different editions starting in 1885, we believe this is the first edition of the Enlarged Atlas. Each of these maps accurately locates all cities, towns, post offices, railroad stations, villages, counties, parishes, islands, lakes, rivers, mountains and more. Until McNallyâs enlarged Business Atlas, maps had never been produced that provided as much information as these do. Even today, we use these 130 year old maps to locate small towns, villages, and railroad routes that are no more. This map measures 19.75 inches by 13.25 inches.
