McNally 1895 Antique Map of Montana Reviews
The final years of the 19th Century marked the end of America’s westward expansion. The Wild West had not yet been completely tamed, but it was well on its way. Trains and banks were still being robbed, but the bandits were coming under increasing pressure from organized law enforcement. The West was quickly becoming as "civilized" as the East. This over 100 year old work was made using the wax-engraving map printing process pioneered by Rand McNally. This process created high-quality, low-cost maps and made the company the leading creator of maps in the United States (a position they enjoy to this day). This map shows the state’s major geographic features, counties, towns, cities, and railroads. If you are looking for an unusual piece of art, to decorate a home or office, these truly "limited-edition" prints are perfect. Antique engravings, & prints are extraordinary examples of the 19th Century printing and engraving arts. As conversation pieces they are unequaled. A beautiful old print or engraving is an actual snapshot of our history. Any of these, increasingly rare, works of art are also some of the most thoughtful (and personal) gifts you can give. Unlike so many other gifts, antique prints allow you to present someone a piece of the past.
