18881549Casa Blanca 1888. Very good. Manuscript map 18 x 23.5 inches. Drawn in black red and blue. Previously folded. Minor soiling and wear. An attractive manuscript map depicting the topography surrounding the small Sinaloan town of Santa Anita southeast of Culiacán near El Comedero. The map is somewhat oddly oriented with due north pointing toward the lower right corner of the sheet. It shows Santa Anita at its center with mountains to its east and dry plains to the west heading toward the Pacific Ocean. Two trails labeled "Camino Nacional de Culiacan" and "Camino del Veinticuatro" connect Santa Anita to the even smaller towns of Llano and Veinticuatro at the map borders. A small section of the Rio San Lorenzo is detailed at the eastern edge of the map area for context. The map was surveyed and drawn by Ignacio L. Rocha a graduate in 1883 of the reformed Colegio Rosales first founded in 1874. Three other maps by Rocha are located in the Mexican Agricultural Archives. A neat and appealing example. unknown books

Trade card 13 x 7.5 cm. printed both sides the verso in chromolithography depicting the interior of a dining car with tables set in anticipation of the passengers' meals. Text on the recto reads "These Dining and Restaurant Cars run on the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad between Chicago and Omaha are in all respects the most luxurious traveling conveniences on the American continent. A bottle of fine French wine is served for an additional fifteen cents with an Extra Fine Meal for which only seventy-five cents is charged. Passengers will bear in mind that these are not the commonly-called Hotel Cars with their attendant high prices and bed-room odors. Our Dining Cars are used for no other purpose.
