This MAP Presents A Bostonian's Idea of The United States of America. Daniel K. WALLINGFORD.

New York City/ Humor.

WALLINGFORD, Daniel K.

[New York, 1936]

This MAP Presents A Bostonian's Idea of The United States of America.

Delightful satiric map that gently spoofs a Bostonian's geographic myopia regarding the United States. As expected, eastern Massachusetts, especially Cape Cod, occupies an inordinate amount of the map. The rest seems to be treated with an offhanded dismissiveness: the country's vast mid section is simply called the "Western Prairies." The... More
