This large and detailed map of the city was published by R.L. Polk & Company. It is roughly centered at the junction of the three rivers and extends west to McKees Rocks and east to Wilkinsburg and presents the street-grid pattern of the city. A legend at bottom further identifies railroads, street car lines, and ward boundaries. Bold lettering above the map advertises "The Reliance Life Insurance Company of Pittsburgh" while illustrated advertisements for the Tranter Manufacturing Company anchor the bottom. There is a detailed street index on verso, though it is obscured by the linen backing. We found only two past sales records for different editions of this map and 8 various institutional examples, also none that were this edition. Folded and backed with linen.
