c. 1890s; Parker Brothers - Salem, MA
Patent Feb. 16, 1892 - first-decade issue; large format lithograph U.S. map board.
A large chromolithographed game board titled Across the Continent, produced by Parker Brothers. The board depicts a detailed map of the United States with state boundaries and major cities marked, accompanied by small illustrations of ships and coastal activity. Designed as an educational and recreational parlor game, Across the Continent reflected the fascination with westward expansion and the growing interconnectedness of the nation by rail and steamship during the Victorian era.
