{"product_id":"new-mexico-map-1935-pictorial-print-santa-fe-albuquerque-carlsbad","title":"New Mexico Map 1935 Pictorial Print - Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Carlsbad","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuth Taylor White drew this pictorial map of New Mexico 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 71 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 Mexico is shown here through its landmarks and its Native American and cowboy heritage, the two cultural identities that most defined the state's popular image in the 1930s. 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\u003eSanta Fe and Albuquerque are both marked as the state's major cities, each illustrated with its own small scene. Carlsbad Caverns and the Sandia Mountains are illustrated as significant natural landmarks, with rivers and general topography sketched in more simply around them. Native American pueblos are depicted across the map, a reflection of the deep-rooted Pueblo communities still central to New Mexico's identity. Cowboy and agricultural imagery fill in the remaining rural stretches of the state. Together Santa Fe, the caverns, and the pueblo and ranching imagery sketch a New Mexico defined by the layering of Native, Spanish colonial, and frontier American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA New Mexico family with Pueblo, Hispanic, 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 New Mexico to a conventional antique survey. The store's other New Mexico editions include Cram's 1878, 1883, and 1893 printings, an 1857 territorial edition, and an 1882 sheet paired with Arizona, all 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":58514756698443,"sku":"1533-16x20","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42x60cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756731211,"sku":"1533-A2","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756763979,"sku":"1533-18x24","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756796747,"sku":"1533-50x70","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (60x84cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756829515,"sku":"1533-A1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x32 inch - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756862283,"sku":"1533-24x32","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756895051,"sku":"1533-70x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75x100 cm - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756927819,"sku":"1533-75x100","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84x119cm) - UNFRAMED","offer_id":58514756960587,"sku":"1533-A0","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/2456\/5323\/files\/SKU1533.jpg?v=1789683709","url":"https:\/\/www.themapvault.com\/products\/new-mexico-map-1935-pictorial-print-santa-fe-albuquerque-carlsbad","provider":"TheMapVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
