Item Details

Description

DESIGNER UNKNOWN C.B. & Q. BURLINGTON ROUTE / FINEST EQUIPPED RAILROAD IN THE WORLD. Circa 1883.
21¼x13¼ inches, 54x33¾ cm. American Banknote Co., New York.
Condition B-: losses in margins and central image and text; tears at edges; staining and darkening throughout. Paper. Matted.
An early, rare broadside for the Burlington Route featuring an inset image of a rail bridge. Although a train is present on the bridge it is curious to note that the image features more river transportation than railroad. The view is possibly that of Burlington's first bridge across the Mississippi River at Galesburg, IL.
