Single sheet. Illustrated map of the San Francisco peninsula. Oblong format: 12-3/4" x 15" The Market Street Railway Company was a commercial streetcar and bus operator in San Francisco, the core of its runs transporting up and down Market Street in the city, hence the name of the company. Throughout its lifetime, the company traded hands and names on numerous occasions. It was the first horsecar line to open in San Francisco, beginning its runs on July 4th, 1860. The company had a difficult time convincing others of the need to electrically run systems, but the 1906 earthquake and fire gave them the chance to overrule the votes and rebuild the system the way they chose. The cars were large and luxurious, and are on display in San Francisco's Railway Museum. Only 2 later editions found in institutional holdings on OCLC. Rare in the trade. Very light wear to edges, previous creasing. White paper printed with black lettering. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve.
