The Rand McNally company was one of the most successful map publishers in American history. That was largely due to diversification in the types of maps produced, advances in printing technology, and the company's extensive and innovative marketing and distribution system. This lot covers four decades, from the World's Columbian Exposition in 1890 through the first quarter of the 20th century. All are filled with maps of the world, continents, major countries, and U.S. states.
