{"product_id":"nebraska-map-1935-pictorial-print-lincoln-omaha-grand-island","title":"Nebraska Map 1935 Pictorial Print - Lincoln, Omaha, Grand Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuth Taylor White drew this pictorial map of Nebraska for Our U.S.A., A Gay Geography, a whimsical cartoon atlas published by Little, Brown, and Company in 1935 with text by Frank J. Taylor, covering all 48 states in fifty-eight full-color illustrated sheets. This sheet appears on page 63 of the atlas, printed in bright lithographed color and filled with small hand-drawn scenes rather than any conventional survey detail, a style built to entertain a Depression-era audience as much as inform it. Nebraska is shown here almost entirely through its agricultural identity, cornfields and cattle dominating the map's imagery just as they dominated the state's Depression-era economy. Ruth Taylor White and Frank Taylor built the atlas as a joint effort, her illustrations paired with his short, wry captions, and the finished sheets sold well enough during the Depression that Little, Brown kept the title in print for several years after its first release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornfields spread across much of the state's interior, the crop most associated with Nebraska agriculture at the time. Cattle ranching scenes appear alongside general farming activity, reflecting the livestock industry that complemented the state's grain production. Local sights, animals, and activities are scattered across the map in the same dense, illustrated style used throughout the atlas. Together the cornfields and the cattle scenes sketch a Nebraska defined almost entirely by its agricultural output, with little else competing for attention on the sheet. A handful of smaller rail towns are sketched into the wheat country as well, a reminder of how much of Nebraska's economy depended on getting grain from farm to market efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Nebraska family with farming or ranching roots will recognize this map's take on the state immediately, and it makes a distinctive gift for anyone who prefers a whimsical, Depression-era view of Nebraska to a conventional antique survey. The store's other Nebraska holdings are standard 19th-century survey maps; this 1935 Little, Brown sheet is the only pictorial, cartoon-style map of the state the collection carries. It's printed unframed and available in a range of sizes to fit whatever wall it's headed for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TheMapVault","offers":[{"title":"16x20 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770493771,"sku":"1539-16x20","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42x60cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770526539,"sku":"1539-A2","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770559307,"sku":"1539-18x24","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770592075,"sku":"1539-50x70","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (60x84cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770624843,"sku":"1539-A1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x32 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770657611,"sku":"1539-24x32","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770690379,"sku":"1539-70x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770723147,"sku":"1539-75x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84x119cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514770755915,"sku":"1539-A0","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/2456\/5323\/files\/SKU1539.jpg?v=1789683697","url":"https:\/\/www.themapvault.com\/products\/nebraska-map-1935-pictorial-print-lincoln-omaha-grand-island","provider":"TheMapVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
