Description: 1846 Bradford Map of Illinois WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Illinois. Description: This is an 1846 Thomas G. Bradford map of Illinois. The map depicts the region from Iowa (labeled Wisconsin) and Missouri to Indiana and Kentucky and from Lake Michigan and Wisconsin to Missouri and Kentucky. Highly detailed, each county is labeled and shaded a different color for easy differentiation. Numerous cities and towns are labeled, including Chicago, Peoria, and Springfield. Several railroads and canals are illustrated, although none of the railroads are specifically named. The Illinois and Michigan Canal, simply labeled 'canal' here, connected the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. It ran 96 miles from Chicago to the Illinois River at LaSalle-Peru and helped Chicago establish itself as a transportation hub of the United States. The canal opened in 1848, and was largely replaced by the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in 1900, and ceased operation after the Illinois Waterway was completed in 1933. This map was engraved by George Boynton and published in the 1846 edition of Bradford and Goodrich's A Universal Illustrated Atlas. Size: Printed area measures 15 inches high by 12 inches wide.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
