Diligencia Americana de Durango a Zacatecas. Jordanas... [caption title]

Durango: 1868. Broadside, 12 x 8.5 inches. Previously folded, with some separation along old folds. Light chipping and wear, minor fading at edges. Good. Item #2513

Fascinating and unrecorded broadside that advertises stagecoach journeys from Durango to Zacatecas operated by the "Murphy Hermanos" during the late 1860s. The coaches left Durango at four in the morning on Mondays and Thursday, and arrived in Zacatecas Wednesdays and Saturdays, after passing through Rojas, Sombrerete, Sain-Alto, and Fresnillo. The broadside also prints a table of fares for all intermediate destinations, and warns of a three-peso charge for excess luggage. Also with a fairly dynamic woodcut of a coach drawn by four horses traveling at pace. Imprints from Durango are rare.

Price: $1,250.00
