Published c. 1960's, United States by Howard Johnson's.
Cartoon pictorial map on a place mat of the southern United States. Text in English.
Scarce ephemeral cartographic novelty of note for the cartoon quality as well as the inclusion of Texas. If you collect maps of Texas or cartoon maps, you almost certainly don't have this one.
Item is old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition. Center fold likely from storage.
Paper gently age worn, slight rubbing, some edge chipping and small old staining, remains overall clean and attractive as a fragile survival. Looks like the original owner may have acquired it in Vero Beach Florida since that location has a small pen underline.
Scarce map displays a pleasing and unique age patina and overall is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this offering survives.
Item measures c. 10 1/4" H x 14" W.
