Notes:
Map detached from an unidentified book or magazine. / Although a date of 1890 might be inferred from the depiction of a 42-star U.S. flag in the upper left corner, the presence of the settlements Diea (Dyea), Valdez, Tanana, and Bering suggest a later date, circa 1898 or 1899. / On verso (page 87): illustration of a man and woman in national dress with the caption "Costume del S. Salvador" and advertisement for distillery "Fernet-Branca dei Fratelli Branca, Milano." / Acquired through Rasmuson Rare Books Endowment.
