The 1892 report includes an important large colored map, "The Union Pacific System of Railway and Steamship Lines," 71 x 53.5 cm, printed by "Rand, McNally & Co., Engravers, Chicago." The ink stamp of "Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Office of the Secretary" is on the front pastedown of the 1888 report, and their embossed stamp is on the title leaf. The reports are bound together and enclosed in a three quarter leather and cloth binding with the original wrappers preserved. The wrappers are fragile and several have chips from the edges. The covers are detached and the spine is missing. The last two leaves of the 1892 report are detached due to the weight of the map which is attached to the last leaf. The map has a few small closed tears in folds, but is overall in excellent condition considering the paper it is printed on. (#164935).
