Description: Genuine original antique color lithographed 1900 street plan of Springfield and Chicopee, Massachusetts, printed more than 130 years ago.

The image area measures 9½" x 6¾", and the map was published by George Franklin Cram, Chicago, 1900. Condition: It is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with no marks, rips, or tears. It has been professionally remargined at the left, giving you good space on all sides for matting and framing. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions. It is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. It depicts the area at an important moment in its history, just a few years after the Duryea brothers had organized the first American company to mass-produce the gasoline-powered automobile they had developed, and one year before champion bicyclist George Hendee went into partnership with Oscar Hedstrom, and as the first motorcycle manufacturer in the United States, started production of their renowned Indian Motorcycle. This map would make a handsome display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips with your purchase, along with a copy of the title page from the book in which it was published. Buy with confidence!
