Item Details
Description
DESIGNER UNKNOWN CHICAGO ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC R.R. / AROUND THE WORLD. Circa 1875.
27½x20½ inches, 70x51 cm.
Condition C: extensive repaired tears, losses, creases and restoration throughout; foxing and staining in image; pencil handwriting at bottom. Matted and framed.
A rare, early broadside for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. This unusual view of the Northern Hemisphere shows a complete route around the world via train and steam ship. One cannot help but think that this poster was inspired by Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days, which was published in 1872, as it states on the poster that the duration of an "entire circuit of the globe is about seventy-eight days."
