Pictorial Sequoia National Park Map (1945)
Whimsically illustrated pictorial map of California’s Sequoia National Park, created by Carroll Barnes in 1945. The verso lists 23 notable places and activities within the park, each corresponding to the numbers and names appearing on the map. Cartoon figures exaggerate the features, landmarks and animals of the park, highlighting the map’s dual function as both an informative guide and a collectible piece of ephemera. Such souvenirs became increasingly common as national parks grew in popularity as vacation destinations during the World War II era. Condition noted, and priced accordingly. Item #2207.
Condition: Very Good, four closed tears along right edge, three smaller than .125", one 2.5" and secured on verso with tape; two closed tears along bottom edge, both smaller than .125"; light creasing throughout; light edgewear along right edge.
Price: $300.00
