{"product_id":"new-jersey-map-1935-pictorial-print-princeton-newark-trenton","title":"New Jersey Map 1935 Pictorial Print - Princeton, Newark, Trenton","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuth Taylor White drew this pictorial map of New Jersey 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 69 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. New Jersey is shown here through its landmarks and industries, squeezed as ever between the much larger cities of Philadelphia and New York. 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\u003ePrinceton University is illustrated as one of the map's notable landmarks, alongside Atlantic City, already established as a major seaside resort by this date. Newark and Trenton are both marked among the state's cities, each with its own small local scene. The Delaware River and the Atlantic coastline are both traced across the map, marking the state's geographic edges. Agricultural and industrial scenes fill in the spaces between the named cities, rounding out a picture of a small but economically diverse state. Together Princeton, Atlantic City, and the two named cities sketch a New Jersey defined by education, tourism, and industry all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone with roots in Newark, Trenton, or the Jersey Shore will recognize this map's take on New Jersey immediately, and it makes a distinctive gift for anyone who prefers a whimsical, Depression-era view of New Jersey to a conventional antique survey. The store's other New Jersey editions include Morse's 1845 sheet and Cram's 1878 four-state printing, both standard survey-style cartography; 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":58514756993355,"sku":"1534-16x20","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42x60cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757026123,"sku":"1534-A2","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757058891,"sku":"1534-18x24","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757091659,"sku":"1534-50x70","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (60x84cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757124427,"sku":"1534-A1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x32 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757157195,"sku":"1534-24x32","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757189963,"sku":"1534-70x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757222731,"sku":"1534-75x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84x119cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514757255499,"sku":"1534-A0","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/2456\/5323\/files\/SKU1534.jpg?v=1789683710","url":"https:\/\/www.themapvault.com\/products\/new-jersey-map-1935-pictorial-print-princeton-newark-trenton","provider":"TheMapVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
