| $0.00 | Titcomb--J--P- | Rare-reverse-image-blueprint-or-cyanotype-of-St--Petersburg-Florida | SOLD<br><br>Introducing an extraordinary piece of cartographic history, this rare 1908 mirror-image blueprint cadastral map of St. Petersburg, Florida, showcases the city's early waterfront development, with the railroad running through the heart of the city along First Avenue. In 1908, a non mirror-image edition of this map could be purchased for just $1.00, either directly from its creator, J.P. Titcomb, or at the local pharmacy owned by W. A. Holhouser.
<br><br>
Today, this particular instance of Titcomb's mirror-image blueprint is an exceptionally rare find, with the only other known copy presumably in a large Florida institution. This map would have served as the input for a photo-reprographic process, such as photo-lithography, to create a series of smaller copies featuring black lines on a white background.
