"Hysterical Map of Island of Oahu, Hawaii..."

Cartographer:

Lindgren Bros 

Date of Creation:

1954

This charming tourist map shows the main roads, towns and attractions (such as Waikiki Beach with a 'grass in motion shake sister').The bountiful sea life is noted by fishermen, coral gardens and a fish "scale". This map was "inked & thinked" by Ted Turner and William S. Terao, a Jaanese -American artist who was hired to draw maps for the firm after Jolly Lindgren's death in 1952. This map is printed on card stock with "King Size Mapcard" printed verso to allow tourists to mail the card to friends and family. There appears to be no poster size pictorial of this view .The card is rare and not held in any major collectiuons
