Antique Chinatown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1908 Elvino V Smith Atlas Map – Center City, Franklin Square, Old City, hotsell Callowhill PA PHL

Beautiful, antique map of the Chinatown neighborhood of Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is an authentic map taken from Elvino V Smith's rare "Atlas of the 6th, 9th & 10th Wards of the City of Philadelphia" published in 1908 and is NOT a computer reproduction. Plate #11.

See what Philadelphia looked like over 110 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including property owner's names as well as geographical points of interest. All streets are named and buildings numbered. It is a colorful and large map that will be a showpiece wherever it is presented. Verso is blank.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1908, printed 1908

Dimensions: 31" width x 21" height

Condition: Good or "Very Vintage" condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 110 years old. Has some real wear, toning, foxing, tape repair, writing in margin and slight warbling but this will flatten easily and all will read as real vintage character when framed.
