Good. Discoloration to top and bottom edges. Manuscript pen depiction of Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railroad. Close right margin, likely as issued. Size 38 x 29 Inches. This is a 1921 Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad city map of Lincoln, Nebraska. The map was issued in the heady days following World War I (1914 - 1918) and bustled with the broader currents of the Roaring Twenties. During this period Lincoln's downtown expanded with a mix of new infrastructure, businesses, and cultural institutions, reflecting a vibrant urban scene. A Closer Look Depicting from Fletcher Avenue south to Cheney, Nebraska, (labeled here as Cheneys) and from Pioneers Park east to Cheney, the map presents Lincoln in detail. Streets are illustrated and labeled throughout. Both the City Campus and the East Campus (labeled here as the State Univ. Agricultural College) of the University of Nebraska are identified and Lincoln High School is labeled. Nebraska Wesleyan University's campus appears as well. Among the railroads illustrated are the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad; the Chicago and Northwestern Railway; the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway; the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and the Union Pacific Railroad. Manuscript Notations Surprisingly detailed manuscript notations highlight the rail network of the Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway. Spur lines, the railway's rail yard, and its sidings are all illustrated in black. The Omaha, Lincoln, and Beatrice never made it outside of Lincoln, but remains in operation today as a private Class III switching railroad. Cyanotype: Why so Blue? Cyanotype is a photo-reprographic technique developed in 1842 by the British astronomer John Herschel (1792 - 1871). Sometimes called a 'sunprint', the technique employs a solution of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide , which painted on white paper or cloth, reacts when exposed to sunlight to dye the object a brilliant blue. Areas blocked from ultraviolet exposure remain undyed and white. Herschel developed the technique to reproduce his astronomical notes, but others quickly realized that any object capable of blocking light could be used to create a cyanotype image quickly and easily. By the late 19th century, the process became popular with designers, military, architects, and engineers (blueprints), who used the cheap and effective technique to quickly and exactly reproduce images in the field. Cyanotyping is limited in that only a single copy can be made at one time, so it was only practical for short-term field work. It is also of note that cyanotypes remain extremely reactive to light and, over time, fade or degrade, making them extremely ephemeral. The process fell out of fashion in most places by the 1920s but remains in use in some parts of the world, such as India and Nepal, to this day.

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations. Very small areas of loss at some fold intersections. Timetables and other information printed on verso. Size 20 x 30 Inches. This is an 1878 Rand McNally railroad map of the United States featuring the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad. The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy (CBQ) is highlighted in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. Thinner lines trace connecting railroads, including the 'Burlington and Missouri River Railroad', and the 'Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Northern Railroad'. Other important connections include the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific, 'Denver and Rio Grande', and the 'Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe' railroads. An inset map in the lower right depicts the western United States and its own expanding railroad network. The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, commonly known as the Burlington Route, was a railroad that operated in the Midwestern United States. The Burlington Route into existence on February 14, 1855, out of a reorganization of the Chicago and Southwestern Railroad. The railroad continued expanding, acquiring trackage, equipment, locomotives, and cars. The Burlington Route entered stock exchange in 1862 and has, up to the present, paid dividends and never run into debt or defaulted on a loan, making it the only Class I U.S. railroad to accomplish this feat. Burlington was purchased by the Great Northern Railway and the Northern Pacific Railway over the course of a few years, and by 1900 the two railroads owned nearly all of Burlington's stock. The three railroads operated independently until March 2, 1970, when the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railway merged to form the Burlington Northern. The Burlington Northern merged with the Santa Fe Railroad in 1996 to form the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. Publication History and Census This map was designed by Emil Heubach, engraved by Frank Roehb, published by Rand McNally, and distributed by the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad in 1878. We note two cataloged examples, at Yale University and the University of Washington. References: OCLC 953520237, 61448771.
