Descripción del artículo del vendedor

THE PUZZLE OF NORTH AMERICAN POLITICS IN THE ERA OF THE 'MONROE DOCTRINE' Lithograph printed colour map mounted onto wood and dissected, 318 x 240mm, showing land-masses from the north of Greenland and Canada to the north of Colombia and Venezuela (the latter uncoloured), scale of 1:30,000,000 (480 miles to 1 inch), on Bonne's (cordiform) Projection, marked with rivers, railways and 'Principal Steam Routes'. An attractive 'jigsaw map' of North and America, using Bonne's cordiform projection, and including Greenland, Mexico, and with an inset showing England and Wales for comparative national scale. Although jigsaw maps reached the height of their popularity in the years either side of 1900, the format is much older - as old, in fact, as the concept of a jigsaw puzzle itself, with the first examples dating from the middle of the 18th century. The map is rare, and we can find no other examples in collections or in commerce. Owing to the lack of a cover for the box, or a cartouche on the map, we have to infer the date. The presence of the railways gives enough information to date this map to the turn of the twentieth century. Mexico is particularly useful: the railway spanning the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico was completed in 1894 and is marked here, yet the development of the Mexican railway is very limited and numerous early 20th century connections (including to the Isthmus railway) are not shown; however the terminus of the Isthmus route is given as ‘Puerto Mexico’, the name given to Coatzacoalcos in 1900. Further research may pin the map down even more precisely, but we are confident that the map dates from 1900 or very soon afterwards. Good condition: base of the box only preserved, some wear to the paper, especially to the lower border, with minimal loss, very faint staining to the upper half (but see picture).…
