Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Very good. Short marginal mends at two folds just touching printed image; else excellent. Size 23 x 44 Inches. This large, colorful map of Virginia was produced in 1929 for the Virginia Conservation Commission to promote tourism. Its publication coincided with the rise of automobile culture and statewide ambitions to capitalize on the great American road trip. A Closer Look Based on the surveys by Olof A. Ljungstedt for the USGS, the map presents Virginia in vivid relief, including its roads, railroads, rivers, and cities. Superimposed over the base map, in red, are 'Historical Points, Natural Wonders, and Other Places of Special Interest To Tourists'. A key breaks down these elements into the locations of historical markers (erected both by the state and by other agencies), battlefields (the size of the cannon indicates the size of the battle), and historical 'shrines,' such as the homes and birthplaces of 'Notable Men.' Natural wonders, battlefield parks, national forests, and recreation centers are also marked. Among these is the projected Shenandoah National Park. A large inset map to the left shows the location of the state in relation to the eastern part of the United States. On the verso are 18 recommended automobile travel routes, ranging from day trips to excursions as long as twelve days. Publication History and Census This map was printed by J. W. Clement Co., based on Olof A. Ljungstedt's surveys on behalf of the United States Geological Survey. We see 11 examples of this 1929 issue of the map listed in institutional collections. References: OCLC 28163299.
