New and Enlarged Map of Baltimore City: Including Waverly, Hampden, All the Parks, and a Miniature Map of the State [Hand colored]

Hand-colored ward boundaries, parks, and railroads. Insert of State of Maryland. This map is a photographic reprint from a digital image of the original map held by the American Geographical Society Library, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. John F. Weishampel Jr. published the popular tourist guides titled "The Stranger in Baltimore". His 1872 map of Baltimore City is one of the first to identify the proposed expansion of the city boundaries. Annexations attempts over the last few decades had failed. Key Baltimore annexations occurred in 1816, 1888 and 1918. The boundaries depicted on this map were not changed until 1888. Weishampel's border vignettes are reminiscent of those on the 1852 Poppleton map1 color map; 62 x 74 cm. Scale: 1: 14,076 (1 inch = 1173 feet
