An explanation at right describes the type of roads one would encounter through the "Bluegrass Region" including level, rolling, hilly, very hilly, and more. Decorated by a fancy title cartouche. Accompanied by 17 pages of text that includes a list of "Some Noted Bluegrass Farms" and provides bicycling directions to them. There are no past sales records and only three institutional examples located on OCLC. Wide octavo, folds into red paper wrappers.
