Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. Colour printed paper map 97x86cm. Very good, neatly folded with closed fold tears. Compiled, engraved and printed by the General Drafting Co. Ltd, New York. Undated, but Worldcat entries generally estimate 1918-19. This is about consistent with the Turkish (Ottoman) border still extending throug…h Mesopotamia to the head of the Persian Gulf. The Journal of the American Asiatic Association ran from 1898-1946. In 1917 it was bought by Willard and Dorothy Straight who prefixed the name with "Asia". Drawing on their experience promoting US trade and investment in Korea and China, it became a vehicle for the Straights to promote US influence across Asia by overcoming "the ignorance of our people" (March 1917 issue). This map was issued with that aim in mind. Centred on the Chinese Republic, coverage is bounded by Scotland (NW), the Gulf of Anadyr (NE), Arapura Sea (SE), and Arabian Sea (SW) on a scale of about 1 inch to 190 miles. Australia is shown in an inset at about 1 inch to 270 miles, with an inset for Tasmania. Details include international and provincial boundaries, 4 classes of settlement, 2 classes of railroad, caravan routes, steamship routes with distances, canals, heads of navigation, and seaports. Symbols are used for 17 types of mineral, agricultural product and fisheries, with several other resources or products named in the image. India for example is shown as widely rich in cattle and teak, with other significant resources including buffalo, sheep, jute, iron, coal and salt. The pre-oil Arabian Peninsula is labelled with pearls on the Persian Gulf and Red Sea coasts (the former naming Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah), dates, camels, horses, myrrh, and frankincense.

Contact seller5-star seller3 folding maps, roughly in the form of folding road maps printed on both sides, published for Esso. All three maps are in fine condition, with two short tears at edges. All three maps promote Esso oil products by featuring the role of oil products in transportation logistics. The first piece has a map of the world showing transp…ort routes. The second piece has a map of the world on one side, Europe on the other. The text mentions a book published in 1943, but the lack of any emphasis on France suggests that this was issued before June 6, 1944. The third map features the Pacific Theater of War, with a large map of the western Pacific Ocean and a more detailed map of the area around Japan. There are many inset maps of islands in the western Pacific, but not including the Solomon Islands, indicating that this was issued well after the Guadalcanal Campaign.

Add to basketLarge folding Japanese coloured map of the United States, with 3 inset maps at foot of map showing main railways, air and highway routes and hemispheres at the top right. Some browning mainly visible on reverse, still a good copy. 66 x 81cm. An intricate and detailed pictorial map of the United States, published in Japanese by t…he US State Department. The same type of map had been published since 1945 in English and subsequently in other languages. The Japanese language map is hard to find. The map is undated, but was probably produced in the 1950's. The images include depictions of women board riders in two piece swimsuits of the sort popular in the 1950s, but the inset text lists Alaska and Hawaii as external territories of the US, indicating that the map was produced before they attained statehood in 1959. An inset panel provides information on the area and population of the US, the population of major American cities, mineral and other resources, climate and topography. A note at the bottom right hand corner of the map states that copies of the map can be obtained free of charge from your nearest US Information Office. Every region of the country is decorated with an illustration of the natural resources, industries or cultural or historical resources associated with that particular place. These include images of early colonial settlers, the birthplaces of Mark Twain and Woodrow Wilson, Booker T. Washington's house and Abraham Lincoln's grave; images of major dams, oil fields, coal mines, cotton plantations etc., various animals and crops and images of ships, cars and public buildings (including the Statue of Liberty, located rather oddly far out at sea).

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Light wear along original fold lines. Map of the west coast of Florida on verso. Size 24 x 16.75 Inches. This is a 1961 General Drafting Company pictorial map of Tampa and St. Petersburg and vicinity. A Closer Look A pictorial map of Tampa and St. Petersburg occupies the top half of the sheet. Pictorial vignettes high…light sites and local culture: Busch Gardens, the hydroponic gardens, Fairyland, and MacDill Air Force Base, the Gasparilla Festival, the Pinellas County Fair, and the local cigar industry. Horse and dog racing, fishing, baseball, sunbathing, and sailing are also pictured, emphasizing Florida's famous leisure culture. An inset in the lower left highlights Fort De Soto Park and its vicinity. Maps of downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa appear on the bottom half of the sheet. Streets, parks, and other important buildings are labeled. Indexes of points of interest are provided. Verso Content Two maps are included on the verso along with travel information. Depicting the west coast of Florida from Tarpon Springs south to the Everglades, pictorial vignettes similar to those on the recto promote sites to visit and Florida's incredible wildlife. The second smaller map covers from Ocala to Tarpon Springs. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the General Drafting Company and distributed by the Humble Oil and Refining Company to promote their Esso gasoline. We note two examples cataloged in OCLC: University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and Stanford University. A second OCLC entry attributes the map of the Standard Oil Company, which the company rebranded to in 1972, and states that the University of Michigan and the Jacksonville Public Library hold examples of this edition (which we believe likely to be identical). References: OCLC 70716233, 956508423.

Roads and highways are indicated in detail, as explained in a legend at right, as are cities and waterways. At top, inset maps of the recently added states of Hawaii and Alaska are included. A handy table of approximate distances between major metropolitan areas appears at bottom-left. This map was published in the wake of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which created the U.S. Interstate system, here with both completed and projected routes noted. A text box at bottom touts the natural beauty of the U.S. and discusses the ongoing construction of the interstates. Verso Content A pictorial map of the United States occupies the verso, emphasizing products used throughout the country that are derived from oil. From cosmetics and clothing to chemicals and heavy industry, the message is clear that oil and its derivative products are both extremely versatile and essential for modern life. At top is a history of Standard Oil of Kentucky, which neatly avoids the company's early history as part of the wider Standard Oil Trust, and the latter's breakup due to a Supreme Court decision in 1911, but instead repeatedly emphasizes the company's connections with the South. When folded, the back cover continues this theme, proclaiming that Standard Oil is a southern Company - 'Of the South, By the South, For the South.' Incidentally, the same year this map was published Standard Oil of Kentucky was acquired by Standard Oil of California (Chevron). Publication History and Census These maps were produced in 1961 by the General Drafting Corporation for Standard Oil of Kentucky. They are quite rare in institutional collections, only being listed among the holdings of the University of Kentucky. References: OCLC 35161853.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Exhibits light wear along original fold lines. Road map of Florida on verso. Size 33.5 x 24 Inches. This is a 1956 General Drafting Corporation pictorial map of Florida. Wonderfully colored vignettes promote tourist attractions, such as Silver Springs, the McKee Jungle Gardens, the Ringling Museum of Art, the South Fl…orida Museum, and the Bok Singing Tower. Tourist activities, including deep-sea fishing and waterskiing, are also highlighted.

Other vignettes illustrate Florida's universities, its beaches, and wildlife. Sightseeing information dominates the lower left and includes short summaries of attractions and other activities.
