"[Lot of 2] Canaux et Chemins de Fer (Etats Unis d'Amerique) [and] Canaux. Plan du Canal Erie",

Two rare and very early maps detailing railroads and canals in the United States. The first extends to Arkansas and Missouri. It shows railroads from Charleston to Athens, two in Virginia and several in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic area. The short line originating in Montgomery, Alabama is the railroad furthest west. The second map is a detailed chart of the canal between Buffalo and Albany, with cross-sections and elevation profiles. It shows a short railroad between Albany and Schenectady. Neither map is in Modelski and we find no other references. Size given is approximate for both.
