Note:
This is one of the maps from the Colton/Blanchard Dollar Series, but it has "Popular" in the title, instead of the usual "Dollar." This was their cheap version of the Peck and Messinger map (see our copies) which is referred to in the title as "Coltons larger and more complete Sectional Map." Full color by county, folded into black cloth covers 15.5x10 with "Colton's Dollar Series Of Sectional Maps Illinois G.W. & C.B. Colton & Co" printed with decorative stamp and a number "1" in gilt. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C.
Reference:
cf Karrow 4-1647.
