Some time ago a street vendor was selling a framed street map of
Philadelphia County, for a period sometime between 1890 and 1915. I
went to a map store today that sells reproductions of antique maps, and
they have never seen it.

Does anybody know where I could get such a map? Most of the ones for
sale show only Center City, but this one had Kensington, Tacony and
Holemsburg on it. It was done as if from an airplane, not looking
straight down, but sort of from an angle. (Straight down would be fine
too.)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
