Item description from seller

(Old Books, Early 20th Century Books, Americana, New York World's Fair, Illustrated Books, Books with Maps). The New York 1939 Official World's Fair Pictorial Map. Published 1939, New York York by the Pace Press. Map by Tony Sarg. Folding 16 pp. booklet. Text in English. Really wonderful and charming cartoon pictorial maps, all presented in a folded format across two sheets. First four leaves are detached from spine splits, final 4 leaves still attached. If desired, maps could readily be selected for display and joined down middle with archival tape. Poor condition due to spine splits separating leaves, but priced accordingly. Publisher's color pictorial paper wrappers, square quarto format, saddle stitched. A series of six different cartoon pictorial maps, all wonderfully rendered and colored. Item is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Item is not new or in "new" condition. Paper covers gently age worn, slight rubbing, small corner curling, some short splits along some fold lines, remains overall clean and attractive as an object. Text block paper is gently toned, minor signs of handling, still well preserved, sound and very appealing. Still attractive on the shelf. The elusive cartographic brochure displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws easy to overlook or forgive. Please review photos for more detail and our best attempt to convey how this vintage World's Fair item survives. Covers measures c. 11 1/2" H x 11 1/4" W.[B9624].
