A portion of northern Wyoming has been included to provide the complete boundaries for Yellowstone National Park. Map is dissected, linen-backed and folds into original brown cloth covers with gilt-stamped title. Drawn by Carl O. Howe, the map was published by J.H. Hibbard and printed by the Lord Baltimore Press of Baltimore. A rare issue.

This is a very nice example with just the barest hint of toning at a couple folds. The color and impression are fine. Covers are lightly rubbed with a little soiling across middle. Cracks at inside hinge. A beautiful example.
