Rand McNally Popular Map of Turkey Syria Iraq Persia Afghanistan and Baluchistan

Descripción:

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. This map of Turkey Syria Iraq Persia Afghanistan and Baluchistan came from Rand McNally's Commercial Atlas, sixty-first Edition dated 1930. A highly successful run of atlases that lasted over a decade. All railroad routes are shown on the map. This map includes all cities and towns, lakes, rivers, and bodies of water. This map measures 12.5 inches by 19 inches. N° de ref. del artículo 71942
