A propos de cet article

Very good. Exhibits wear along original fold lines. Areas of infill at some fold intersections. Size 37.25 x 48 Inches. This is a 1948 Janet Smalley and Jeanne McLavy pictorial map of the world. Icons placed across the world highlight historic landmarks, such as the Lincoln Memorial, Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro, the Sphinx at Giza, the Acropolis in Athens, St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, and the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Other icons illustrate trains, planes, and buses, moving the world's people from one place to another. Churches appear throughout the world as well, although many are not identifiable. Penguins appear along the bottom border. Five blank boxes are scattered around the map, likely meant to highlight cultural events worldwide, since one box contains an illustration of the Boy's Festival in Japan. The Borders Content in the top and bottom border differs from that along the sides. Aspects of human culture appear on the left. Smalley and McLavy chose to highlight architecture (Notre Dame in Paris), sculpture (The Winged Victory of Samothrace), drama (embodied by the traditional masks of comedy and tragedy), science (a microscope), painting, chemistry, and music. On the right, industries are promoted, including farming, manufacturing, education, medicine, and mining. Four circular vignettes occupy the corners and illustrate four 'rights': the 'Right to a Good Home, the 'Right to Good Health,' the 'Right to Good Food,' and the 'Right to a Good School.' The majority of the top and bottom borders remain blank, indicating that this is a proof state. Some of the vignettes illustrate other rights, such as the 'Right to Read the Bible' and the 'Right to Vote Freely.' A view of a meeting of the World Council of Churches occupies the top center, and a view of the signing of the Charter of the United Nations appears at the bottom center. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Janet Smalley and Jeanne McLavy and published by Friendship Press in 1948. This map is not cataloged in OCLC, and we are aware of only one other example.…
