Note:
Blanchard's second map of Chicago, after his 1857 issue. With views of Old Fort Dearborn and an inset map of "Chicago in 1812." Outline color. Includes index of streets. On the verso in full color is the main portion of "Map of the counties of Cook, Dupage, Will, Kankakee, and parts of Kane & Kendall" trimmed close at the bottom and left sides. This was compiled by J. H. Rees, undated, and is not listed in Karrow, other than an 1851 edition of somewhat different title (Karrow 4-1841). The Karrow listing of the Blanchard Chicago Map (4-0374) does not mention this Rees map on the verso, making this copy of the two maps perhaps unique. Map is folded into stamped red cloth covers 15x9.5 with "Blanchard's Guide Map of Chicago." in gilt.
Reference:
Karrow 4-0374.
