National Geographic- White Mountains of New Hampshire 1937 - Historic Wall Map Series - 20 x 17 inches - Paper Rolled

"'This is the second greatest show on earth.' Thus spoke P.T. Barnum when he stood on the summit of Mount Washington and scanned the jumble of peaks and ridges of the White Mountains, spreading from the waistline of New Hampshire to Canada and from its Maine border to the Connecticut Valley." Published in July 1937, this map of the White Mountains of New Hampshire accompanied the article "From Notch to Notch in the White Mountains." A visually stunning map with incredible shaded relief, this antique illustration of the White Mountains was made to be showcased as a piece of art. Featuring gorgeous artistic sketches of the region's landscapes, flora, and fauna, this map brings to life America's oldest recreational mountain region. Foot trails, ski trails, waterfalls, fire lookouts, mountain summits, and more are integrated flawlessly in this map that is as much an informative artifact as it is a snapshot of its time. A truly unique piece of cartographic history, this map's antique color tones will go well with any decor and is perfect for framing. It makes a wonderful companion to other geological depictions of America's landscapes, such as the 1892 map of the Muir Glacier. Printed on high quality thick paper strong enough for display on your wall. Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
