<br /><br/>
Very rare and very unusual cyanotype (blueprint) document showing the railroad and steamship lines, as of 1892, that comprised the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad (N.Y.P. & B.R.R.). Includes unusually-presented notes about dates of construction and leasing of the various component lines of the railroad within circular icons.
<br /><br />
A fine example of the use of the cyanotype process to create a map not intended for navigation but rather to inform the reader about the history of the railroad and its affiliated Providence and Stonington Steamship Company.
<br /><br />
Produced from Providence, Rhode Island by the Chief Engineer's Office in March, 1892. |
