No 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.

Condition: Very Good. The boating map that sold Florida before Disney Large-format illustrated cruising chart produced by Standard Oil during the postwar leisure-boating boom, covering the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf Coast routes from Savannah through Florida to New Orleans. Designed as both a functional navigation aid and a…promotional travel object, the chart blends precise coastal cartography with pictorial lighthouse vignettes and regional landmarks, making it equally appealing to navigators and collectors of mid-century American ephemera. Physical description: Single large double-sided printed sheet, folded as issued, multiple-color offset lithography on thin stock, nautical soundings, route lines, compass roses, lighthouse and harbor illustrations, key map and legend panels, Standard Oil branding and General Drafting imprint present, approximate unfolded size large-format, exact measurements to be supplied. Condition: Paper is clean and supple with light, even age toning, original folds intact, minor handling wear at fold intersections, no losses, no tape repairs, graphics remain sharp and legible throughout, folds remain sound, issued folding format restated. Scarcity note: Surviving examples are increasingly scarce in clean, complete condition, particularly double-sided sheets retaining strong color and intact folds, most examples encountered show heavier fold wear or staining. The Southern Cruising Guide reflects the moment when recreational boating became accessible to middle-class Americans, supported by improved waterways, standardized navigation aids, and the rise of automobile and petroleum-sponsored tourism. General Drafting's crisp cartography is softened by charming illustrative elements that turn functional navigation into visual storytelling. The chart reads as both a working tool and a piece of Americana, merging maritime precision with aspirational travel culture. Historical significance Issued as part of Standard Oil's broader travel and mobility outreach, the chart illustrates how petroleum companies positioned themselves as partners in leisure and exploration, not merely fuel suppliers. It documents the growth of Florida and Gulf Coast boating infrastructure just prior to the massive postwar development boom, making it a valuable artifact for maritime, regional, and advertising history. Subjects: Intracoastal Waterway, Florida Gulf Coast, Recreational boating history, Maritime navigation, Petroleum advertising, Mid-century American design Maps and charts, Printed ephemera, Nautical material Single-sheet, double-sided folding nautical chart. Cartography by General Drafting Co., New York. (illustrator).
