Chicago

Chicago  is an interesting black and white lithograph on paper, realized in 1905 by  an anonymous artist , and published by  Brockhaus Encyclopedia  (Brockhaus Enzyklopädie), an encyclopedia in German among the most renowned in the world.

Published in Mannheim by the publisher Bibliographisches Institut & F. A. Brockhaus AG, this encyclopedia appeared in an embryonic form in the 18th century. At the time, it was a matter of offering a modern instrument of culture and conversation (Conversations-Lexikon mit vorzüglicher Rücksicht auf die gegenwärtigen Zeiten) to the educated classes. The real encyclopedia would soon be born from the project at the beginning of the 19th century.

This original print is a toponomastic map of the city of Chicago, a historical piece to collect!

In good conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper at the edges and minor defects and signs of time.
