Note:
Pictorial map shows downtown Boston commemorating the centennial of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), who invented the telephone there in 1876 and co-founded the Bell Telephone Company the following year. The map is filled with drawings of buildings, landmarks, history of telephone, and historic sites, with an emphasis on “Historic Telephone Sites of Boston,” which are listed in the legend on the left and notations. On the right is a reproduction of an early advertisement for Boston’s Telephone Dispatch Co., explaining how a telephone call is made and listing current business customers as an inducement for others to join the system. The bell-shaped emblem of the Bell Telephone Company recurs throughout, enclosing the cartouche and a series of pictures showing the evolution of phone design at the top. The border design features a looping line of telephone wires connecting four illustrations related to the theme. Map shows streets, railroads, piers, and parks.
