1946 pictorial map cape cod (1 Ergebnisse)

Very good condition. Original fold lines with virtually no wear. Size 10.25 x 15.75 Inches. 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.
