A propos de cet article

Very good. Trimmed to neatline. Size 18 x 26 Inches. This is a beautiful example of the 1930 Frederick Coulton Waugh pictorial map of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, here in its deluxe large edition. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Cape Cod as well as part of the adjacent South Shore, including Plymouth, Buzzard Bay, and Duxbury. The map illustrates towns and roads in addition to offering rich vignettes alluding to the region's nautical heritage. These include the 'old man of the sea' in Buzzard Bay, and a 'horrible sea serpent' reported near Cape Anne, among other local folklore. Shipwrecks and historical events are also noted, including the arrival of the Mayflower . The top and bottom borders include illustrations of ships, lighthouses, and other buildings, while the left and right borders include illustrations of Cape Cod's most famous ships. A columnist in the local weekly writes about Coulton Waugh and this particular map: Coulton Waugh was the son of noted marine painter Frederick Waugh. The two Waughs differed artistically, yet they shared a love of the sea and were on the best of terms personally. Coulton was a professional sailor and made scale drawings of historic ships, designed fabrics, and made decorative maps and charts Coulton Waugh was considered to have revived, if not originated the art of decorative map making when he exhibited a large map of silk in 1918 at the International Silk Show in New York City. His map of Cape Cod is one of the most decorative ever prepared. The central cartouche shows the Mayflower and two Pilgrims in armor. The border was reproduced from a drawing cut with a knife in the wood-block technique. The top and bottom borders are of a stylized Cape Cod landscape and the sides borders are decorated with the images of six famous ships. The Rose Dorothea appears in the lower right-hand corner. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Colton Waugh and printed in 1930. It is his second map of Cape Cod, following an earlier 1926 pictorial map. It is also the larger deluxe edition of the present map, embellished with rich original color. References: OCLC 41755535. Rumsey 10037.000.…
