ARE
you already imagining it framed on your wall? Or could it be a perfect gift to a friend or a loved one? Decades that passed had soaked this map in wanderlust-ness you are looking for. Genuine vintage look, smell & feel - it's got it all.
If you decide to buy it you've helped me in my quest to give it what it deserves - a new life.

MAP
was printed in 1929, as part of „The Literary Digest Atlas of the Wold and Gazetteer“. This is a map of Illinois.
Map comes on two separate sheets. This is vintage original, not a scan, modern reproduction or color print. Due to it's age it is expected for it to show some signs of use. A serious map collector would probably few stains and smudges, graphite pencil handwriting and uneven inner sides due map being cut from two different sheets. But this is a map from a vintage atlas that was used by numerous generations. Imagine how many dreams of distant lands and plans for some grand voyage has this map witnessed. So what all these imperfections really are is the proof that this map is soaked in travel dreams, the wanderlust-ness that you are looking for.

BY THE WAY..
Vintage Express pledges that $1 from each order goes to fund Kiva micro-loans.
Almost every second person is living in poverty and though they all, just like you and me, have basic needs for food, shelter or education - most of them do not have access to basic financial services. Formal financial institutions consider them to be “unbankable”.
Kiva is a non-profit organization with a mission to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive.
Vintage Express will use Kiva.org/lender/vntgxprss micro-lending platform as a tool to help alleviate poverty & make a real difference in someone’s life.
