The posters are so incredibly fragile- imagine something from 1869 made of the same brittle paper used in the guides. Also consider it had dozens of folds in order to fit inside the front cover. Given those factors, as well as the scarcity of a Haney Guide, it's possible that this one and Kashmanian's are the only ones that survived. I am not familiar with any others.
You can find, however, early guides with hand colored illustrations, as well as old Peck & Snyder catalogs with color pages. I had both when I collected and they are of the same quality as the poster, but the individual pages are too small to frame.
