Antique Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1908 Elvino V buying Smith Atlas Map – Center City, Old, Chinatown, Franklin, Logan Square, Rittenhouse, PA PHL

Beautiful, antique index map of Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is an authentic map taken from Elvino V Smith's rare "Atlas of the 6th, 9th & 10th Wards of the City of Philadelphia" published in 1908 and is NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Philadelphia looked like over 110 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including geographical points of interest. All streets are named. It is a large map and will be a showpiece wherever it is presented. Verso is blank.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare buying. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1908, printed 1908

Dimensions: 31" width x 21" height

Condition: Good or "Very Vintage" condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 110 years old. Has some real wear, toning, foxing, tape repair and slight warbling but this will flatten easily and all will read as real vintage character when framed.
