    Description

    Just an incredible 4 page 1904 calendar made by the Frisco Lines Railroad for the St Louis Worlds Fair.  Each 9 by 12" sheet is heavy paper and not cardboard.  Each page has a great image centered above a group of 3 months.  De Soto at Mississippi 1541; Founding St Louis 1764; Louisiana Purchase 1804; and  Marquette's Voyage 1673 make the year.   They are all really well done and look great!  De Soto page has a map of the LA purchase with  Frisco lines plotted within it.
    Hole at top center was to hang them- looks like all 4 corners were pinned instead but removed very cleanly in all 16 spots.  There are creases and small bends here and there but the green and gold are so dark they are hard to see. Can't stress enough how nice these really look
