1938 Webb Hamilton Pictorial Map Of Cape Cod

11 x 14.25". Vintage to 1938, but in amazing NM-MT condition. No tears or creases. Ready to be framed. A charming 1938 pictorial map of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, but artist Harold Hamilton Webb. Centered on Hamilton's home, Hyannis, the map looks north on Cape Cod, which reaches to the horizon line near Providence. The line of the horizon is exaggerated between Boston and Providence to express the curvature of the Earth - an innovative style cartographer Richard Edes Harrison adopted to great effect for war progress maps in the 1940s. The map shows the roads and lakes of Cape Cod. Fish swim the seas and three sailing vessels ply the waves. The title, in the lower right, is supported by a seahorse. The border is composed of scenes from Cape Code, including the land, sea, foliage, and a sailing ship.
