THIS ITEM IS---from a large stash of early paper, there is some very cool stuff. you are considering the item shown above. THE SCALE SHOWN BEHIND ITEM IS IN INCHES.
neat old original map: profile of Canal on adopted lines from CONCHUDA to LAKE NICARAGUA. this one is crazy long (aprox 11 x 148 inches) over 12 feet long, it is two paper attached (by the maker), great color and detail. AMAZING. one spot of damage shown. if you need more photos just ask.
just filled with detail,
The Plate comes from The Report of the Isthmian Canal Commission, 1897-1901. This report was commissioned to develop the best route and plan for the construction of the Panama Canal. The report was published by the Government Printing Office circa early 1900's. the chart/map is filled with all kinds of info, very nice, I have a bunch of these different charts from the book, but not the book itself. you are considering the one shown, they are all different size, some HUGE, light wear only with an occasional tear along the fold lines, usually where the fold lines cross. use ebays zoom in feature to examine. VERY COOL, AND SCARCE.
