, an extremely rare, original copy of Chicago's 1939 "A Comprehensive Plan for the Extension of the Subway System of the City of Chicago Including Provision for the Widening of E. and W. Congress Street." Large book with several fold out illustrations / sketches / maps, plates, and photo. Over 131 pages. Several drawings attributed to artist Miles Sater. The number of illustrations and images is difficult to count, as there are so many, but you will not be disappointed! Around 30 "figures" pages containing illustrations, maps, charts, photos, etc., and 44 "sheets" containing fold out illustrated maps / sketches. Sketches / images involve the subway system, but others involve the expansion of Congress Parkway to become an east - west superhighway! While this does not have the stature of the 1909 Plan of Chicago by Burnham and Bennett, this book is rich with data and various kinds of images. Ships via USPS Media Mail.

Cover has bumped, rubbed, chipped edges/corners, pencil writing and some stains. Binding is stiff, but I strongly recommend handling with care. Appears completely intact, with all pages, sketches / fold out plates. If you have any questions or would like more photos, please ask!
