About This Item
This charming map, with its appealing front-cover illustration depicting cyclists on a road, shows all of Bermuda from Somerset Island to St. George's Island, and also includes an inset street map of Hamilton. A printed note in the lower left-corner provides information on the condition and nature of the roads (including a designation for poor roads with a very steep grade considered "dangerous for wheeling"). Another note below the title indicates that the map was "specially compiled for the Rexall Store, Hamilton, Bermuda." The drugstore must have enjoyed a large tourist clientele and presumably had a ready market for such a map, which was published during the cycling craze that began in the 1890s.
