 C21.18 Ide,
Arthur W. Ide’s Map of Helena Montana. Helena, Williams, Thurber
& Co., 1888. Pocket map, stiff printed wraps, folding lithographed map in
colors. Few very small fold intersection breaks, lightly toned overall,
overall about fine. $875.00
Fine plat map of Helena compiled and drawn by Helena surveyors Reeder &
Helmick on a scale of 300 feet per inch and published in Minneapolis for
Arthur Ide by Harrison & Smith.
Fascinating cartographic item
given that the city of Helena contained more millionaires per capita than
any other U.S. city at this date. This copy issued compliments of Wallace
& Thornburgh Real Estate Agents who claim to be “…exclusive agents of
most of the North and East side Additions…” Ide also published a
map of Missoula, Montana in 1891. Both productions appear to be rather
scarce. Not in Eberstadt, Soliday, Streeter or Phillips.
