Thanks Kevin for the clarification. I knew there was an ownership change in 1869, but got some of my facts wrong. I agree that without taking the poster out of the book myself, it would be difficult to know its origin. It did have all the very visible folds in it, so one could have certainly guessed it was placed inside the cover of a book.
But here's one other thing I vaguely remember: Somewhere in the back of the Haney Guide, among the black and white advertisements, was mention of a color supplement that was included. However, you would have had to have seen that to make the connection. Some detective work would be necessary to connect a loose poster to the guide, but it could be done.
