Seller: Geographicus Rare Antique Maps, Brooklyn, NY, U.S.A.Geographicus Rare Antique Maps
Contact seller4-star sellerVery good condition. Size 18 x 21 Inches. This is an unusual 1932 Walter M. Gaffney pictorial map of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Pictorial symbols, including an airplane, a deer, a windmill, lighthouses, and the Pilgrim Monument at Provincetown, add charm to the piece. Illustrations of the Mayflower, Leif Ericson's ship, and other…boats decorate Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic. According to his daughter, Gaffney issued this map to make supplemental money while the architecture business suffered a downturn. Pictorial Style Map This is considered a 'pictorial map,' reflecting a style that first began to appear around 1910. As a map, its intention is not so much to provide direction as to illustrate the character, famous places, and historical appeal. Cartographically speaking, this map style most likely draws its inspiration from late 19th century 'tourist maps' and 'railroad maps.' Tourist Maps, common to major cities in Europe (usually Paris or London), included profiles of notable buildings and monuments and were designed to help foreign tourists identify and navigate to the most important sights. 'Railroad Maps' are a related genre more common to the United States. During the latter part of the 19th century railroad boom, railroad companies began issuing decorative route maps extolling the virtues various destinations and their accessibility by rail. Context Standing somewhere between these two map styles, our map combines the decorative aspects of both while reducing cartographic value. It may be hard to get from A to B using this map, but its attractive design and decorative flourishes make it an excellent souvenir and memento of a wonderful Cape Cod vacation. Publication History and Census This map does appear on the market from time to time. References: Rumsey 8170.

This is a wonderful 1934 Kenneth Morang Art Deco style pictorial map of Cape Cod. Drawn for the tourist market, this decorative map depicts Cape Cod from Race Point and Provinc…etown to Buzzards Bay. The left and right margins feature various notes containing important information for 'Visitors who wish to see the Real Cape Cod' with details on 'Beautiful Trips off the Main Highways.' Important towns, including Monument Beach, Chatham, Barnstable, Hyannis, and Provincetown are labeled, along with lighthouses, yacht clubs, lakes, and airports. Ships are illustrated plying the waters of Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound, and Cape Cod Bay and an illustration of the Sacred Cod of Massachusetts is situated prominently within Cape Cod Bay. The title cartouche features a compass rose and a sea gull. A key below the title explains the notations used to differentiate between different types of roads. Several points of interests are marked using amusing notes including 'from a point off here laid the German Submarine which fired the only shot to land on American soil in the World War,' 'near the end (or if you prefer, the beginning) of the state long bridal trail which reaches to the Berkshires,' etc. Publication History and Census This map was created by Kenneth E. Morang and published by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce in 1934. We note three examples cataloged in OCLC which are part of the collections at the New York Public Library, the Newberry Library, and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. We also note an example which is part of the collection at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. References: OCLC 434456767.

This is a 1907 George Walker and Company pocket map of southern Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The map depicts from Marion to Hyannis and from Bourne to Nantucket Sound and Vineyard Sound. Several…counties are labeled, including Marion, Bourne, Falmouth, and Barnstable as well as Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, Vineyard Sound, and Buzzard Bay. The Cape Cod Division of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad is depicted, along with numerous roads. Ponds and hills are labeled. Along the bottom border, a legend explains the different notations utilized throughout the map, including the difference between town and county borders and that the abbreviation P.O. after a town name indicates the presence of a post office.

An attractive 1956 first-edition pictorial map of Chatham, Massachusetts drawn by Welt-Brooks Studio and printed by the Spaulding-Moss Company for the Chatham Chamber of Commerce. It highlights local attractions, from historical site…s to summertime activities. A Closer Look Located at the 'elbow' in the southeast corner of Cape Cod, Chatham is known for its long history, having been visited by Samuel de Champlain in 1606, and for being a favorite summer destination for travelers and seasonal residents. The map covers the town and labels waterways, roads, islands, neighborhoods, and other features. Numbers throughout correspond to an index of 'points of interest' at left, while illustrations on and below the map depict quaint local scenes, including the Chatham Windmill and Chatham Light (like other towns on the coast of Massachusetts, Chatham's long history has endowed it with several historical buildings that are very old by American standards). The verso includes detailed information on directions to Chatham, favorite local activities (summer concerts, fishing, and beaches), institutions, such as the library, schools, and churches. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Welt-Brooks Studio, a short-lived outfit that included local artist Milton Welt, and printed by the Spaulding-Moss Company for the Chatham Chamber of Commerce in 1956. It was issued several times, but all examples in institutional collections are dated to 1960 (the University of Toronto) and 1961 (the Boston Public Library).

A charming 1946 pictorial map of Cape Cod and its towns, created by New England author and historian Edward Rowe Snow. A lover of all things piratical and nautical, Snow brusquely marks out the towns of Cape Cod with banners, but indulges… himself in his depictions of ships and shipwrecks, sea birds, whales and even a sea monster menacing Provincetown. The shipwrecks are not generic, but rather are specific, named ships ranging from the Pirate ship 'Whidah' (Whydah Gally, a slaver and pirate ship sunk in 1717) to Submarine S-4 (SS-109, a U.S. Submarine sunk in 1927). Camp Edwards (a major WWII training ground) is marked on the map, as is Hyannis Airport. Publication History and Census This piece is scarce on the market. It is neglected in institutional collections: it appears only in the Harvard University library and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. We see only one example in auction records from 2017.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Minor verso reinforcement along some old fold lines and intersections. Light toning along old fold lines. Detached but accompanied by original binder. Size 30.5 x 28 Inches. A charming 1902 map of Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and other points along the coast of Massachusetts, published by George H. Walker a…nd Company. Rich in information, it focuses in particular on cycling routes, reflecting the boom in recreational cycling in the preceding years. A Closer Look The map depicts the region from New Bedford east to the Atlantic Ocean and from Duxbury and Provincetown south to Nantucket. Cycling routes are traced in red, with further connections to Boston, Quincy, Taunton, and Fall River suggested, indicating the main selling point of the map. Other roads, railroad lines, and ferry and steamship lines are also noted, providing comprehensive transportation information to the traveler and local alike. Town borders are outlined in orange. Waterways, swamps, shoals, and other maritime and coastal features are also illustrated. The Bicycle Boom Though invented in the early 19th century, bicycles only became commercially accessible and popular in the closing decades of the 19th century. A range of innovations made the machines more reliable, safe, comfortable, and affordable, and they became fashionable for their applications in transportation, leisure, and sport on both sides of the Atlantic. As would later happen with automobiles, cycling clubs sprang up to scour best routes, advocate for improved roads, and connect enthusiasts (for instance, the Massachusetts Bicycle Club was founded in 1879 in Boston). Cycling was particularly popular among women, as it provided freedom of movement and association (the sexes could intermingle without parental oversight). With regard to the present map, the quaint small towns and seaside roads of Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard were especially well-suited for bicycles. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by George H. Walker and Company in 1902, updating an earlier 1892 map. Yale University and the American Antiquarian Society list the 1892 edition among their holdings, but we are unable to locate any examples of the 1902 edition in institutional collections or on the market.

Contact seller4-star sellerVery good. Trimmed to neatline. Size 18 x 26 Inches. This is a beautiful example of the 1930 Frederick Coulton Waugh pictorial map of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, here in its deluxe large edition. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Cape Cod as well as part of the adjacent South Shore, including Plymouth, Buzzard Bay, and Duxbury. The m…ap illustrates towns and roads in addition to offering rich vignettes alluding to the region's nautical heritage. These include the 'old man of the sea' in Buzzard Bay, and a 'horrible sea serpent' reported near Cape Anne, among other local folklore. Shipwrecks and historical events are also noted, including the arrival of the Mayflower . The top and bottom borders include illustrations of ships, lighthouses, and other buildings, while the left and right borders include illustrations of Cape Cod's most famous ships. A columnist in the local weekly writes about Coulton Waugh and this particular map: Coulton Waugh was the son of noted marine painter Frederick Waugh. The two Waughs differed artistically, yet they shared a love of the sea and were on the best of terms personally. Coulton was a professional sailor and made scale drawings of historic ships, designed fabrics, and made decorative maps and charts Coulton Waugh was considered to have revived, if not originated the art of decorative map making when he exhibited a large map of silk in 1918 at the International Silk Show in New York City. His map of Cape Cod is one of the most decorative ever prepared. The central cartouche shows the Mayflower and two Pilgrims in armor. The border was reproduced from a drawing cut with a knife in the wood-block technique. The top and bottom borders are of a stylized Cape Cod landscape and the sides borders are decorated with the images of six famous ships. The Rose Dorothea appears in the lower right-hand corner. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Colton Waugh and printed in 1930. It is his second map of Cape Cod, following an earlier 1926 pictorial map. It is also the larger deluxe edition of the present map, embellished with rich original color. References: OCLC 41755535. Rumsey 10037.000.

The map celebrates the iconic villages, sights, and maritime history of Cape Cod. A Closer Look Illustrations fill Cape Cod, including herds of deer, golfers, equestrians, windmills, cabins, lighthouses, and airplanes. The P…ilgrim Monument is illustrated in Provincetown. Silhouettes illustrate the profiles of many of the ship-types that visited Cape Cod - here divided into historical vessels and modern-day pleasure craft. The Cape Cod sea serpent makes an appearance above these illustrations, not far from a mermaid. (The 'Sea Serpent' is said to ply the waters from Cape Cod to Cape Ann. There have been numerous sightings and some photographs of 'serpents' caught in fisherman's nets. Both the sightings and the captured fish are almost certainly very real and sea-serpent-like deepwater oarfish). King Neptune overlooks the scene from the upper left corner, just off the coast of Plymouth. Silhouettes of present-day 'pleasure craft' are included along the bottom border. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the Crawford Press in 1936. We note a single cataloged example in OCLC, which is part of the collection at Harvard University. We also note an example in the collection at the Sturgis Library in Barnstable, Massachusetts. This map appears on the private market from time to time. References: OCLC 45874632.

It is considered one of the best pictorial maps of Cape Cod from the early 20th century. A Closer Look Locations throughout are labeled, including towns, tou…rist sites, and other points of interest: Provincetown, Brewster, Dennis, Chatham, Barnstable, Bourne, and Falmouth among them. Vignettes of mills, clam shanties, lighthouses, and ships are illustrated. Both the art museum and the Town Crier Shop in Provincetown are labeled, along with the Pilgrim Monument, which was completed in 1910. The Cape Cod Railroad, incorporated in 1846, is represented by a train featuring a locomotive, coal tender, and two passenger cars. Several shipwrecks are noted, with one notable exception: the safe arrival of the Mayflower in 1620. Duck hunting, once a popular pastime on the Cape, appears prominently, with vignettes of both hunter and hunted. A decorative border surrounds the whole, with views of typical Cape Cod scenes interspersed with illustrations of fish, anchors, and other nautical instruments. Publication History and Census This map was published by Town Crier Shop in 1930. There were multiple editions and formats including small format (about 12 x 14 in), medium format (about 20 x 22 in), and as here, large format (24.75 x 27.5 in). There are also color variations, including a black-and-white edition. Of this large-format color edition, there are two states. One bears publication information below the bottom border. The publication information is absent on this, the second state. The map is scarce, especially in the large format edition, as here. References: Rumsey 9006.000.

Size 22 x 33.5 Inches. This is a c. 1950 F. J. Miller pictorial map of Cape Cod, including Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. The map celebrates Cape Cod, its history of seam…anship, and the restful qualities of beachfront life: artists painting picturesque scenery, bucolic coastal scenes, and gentlemanly sporting life. A Closer Look The map depicts from central Massachusetts to the Atlantic Ocean and from Provincetown and Duxbury to Woods Hole. Hyannisport, Provincetown, Barnstable, and Otis Air Force Base are identified. New Bedford, noted here as an 'old whaling town', is highlighted by a vignette of a whale knocking two men out of their rowboat. A fisherman taking his catch to shore in a rowboat dominates the center of Cape Cod Bay. The decorative title cartouche features a fishing net and two seagulls. The whole is surrounded by a rope motif border alluding to maritime heritage. Publication History and Census This map is copyrighted to F. J. Miller of 1045 High Street, Westwood, Massachusetts. The OCLC records only one example, located at Harvard. This is only the third example we are aware to have appeared on the private market. The W.E.B. Du Bois Library of UMass Amherst has a nearly identical map ascribed to one Mary E. Murray, but without Miller's copyright. The main difference is that the Miller map has a red border and was printed using a three-color lithograph process whereas the Murray examples use a two-color process. References: OCLC 953099996.

This ephemeral style of map became popular in the early 20th century when they were printed and sold by various newsstands operating in train and ferry stations throughout New England, but primarily in Boston. A Closer Look Cape Cod dominates the foreground, with the northern extremes of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket appearing along the bottom border. Towns and villages throughout are illustrated, some with discernable buildings. Among these are Barnstable, Provincetown (with the Pilgrim Monument clearly illustrated), Woods Hole, and Plymouth. Boston occupies the upper left horizon. Labeled lighthouses appear all along the coastline. Dashed lines mark shipping routes. The Cape Cod Canal The Cape Cod Canal stretches seven miles across the neck connecting Cape Cod with the mainland. Construction began on June 22, 1909, and the canal opened on July 29, 1914, on a limited basis. It was completed in 1916. The canal, part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, negates the need to travel around the Cape, shortening the journey by 135 miles.
