- San Francisco: Wahlgreen Co., 1915
San Francisco: Wahlgreen Co., 1915. Very good. First edition; folded to a pocket size; unfolded - 11 x 32; two maps to recto and verso; tiny nicks to intersections of folds and a few minor spots to edges; faint pen check mark to front panel; in very good condition.A rare publication, it was printed by the Wahlgreen Company (a well-known San Francisco publisher of official guides, art books, and catalogs for major events, focusing on fine printing and detailed art/architectural documentation) for the Southern Pacific Company and their "Southern Pacific Day" during the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. A program for that day was included on verso, showing a time table of events, order of march, etc. The first map, a very-large, panoramic one, showed the layout of the temporary city built on the shores of the San Francisco Bay, the key buildings, athletic fields, promenades, roadways, streets, entertainment zones, and even parking lots for automobiles. The second, smaller map on verso outlined Southern Pacific's Sunset, Ogden, and Shasta Routes and connections.
