Antique 1871 Portland, Maine Map from F.W. Beers Atlas of Cumberland County – Downtown, West End, Libbytown, Parkside, Fore orders River, Old Port

Beautiful, antique map of West End & Parkside area of Portland, Maine. This is an authentic map taken from F.W. Beer's Atlas of Cumberland County published in 1871 and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Maine looked like more than 145 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including streets, parks, buildings, houses, wharves and the names of property owners at the time. Hand colored. Verso is blank.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts. This fold-out map is very large and would present nicely.

Edition of 1871, printed 1871

Dimensions: 27" width x 33" height

Cities, Villages & Points of Interest: Cumberland County, Portland, West End, Parkside, Libbytown, Portland Harbor, Fore River, Rail Road Grounds, St. Luke's Cathedral.

Some edge-wear, fold lines and tears, most notably from the left edge orders of the map to about 10" in, but this is easily repaired and all of which will read as vintage character when framed.
