This charming pictorial world map was drawn by Cornelius DeWitt to accompany Simon & Shuster's popular 1952 children's book, The Golden Geography. The map is a fascinating encapsulation of the popular American worldview of the early 1950's, and includes vignettes tinged with racism, an emphasis on commercial exports, and implied technological superiority.
