Description

Excellent Golden-Age of Illustration Fantasy Map of the lands of Forty Isles of G. Robinson -- A Voyage of Self Discovery

Scarce fantasy pictorial map -- very much of the period in terms of cultural and social values.  "Fortunately for him, he found some wild Tobacco and so made quite a good brand of cigar, which he called Flor de Lonelios, and these he smoked in great content.".  Hard to imagine writing this in a modern children's book!

The map was published in Traveller's Joy A Device, written by Dion Clayton Calthrop and illustrated by Gilbert Pownall.

Map on Temperance. Designed by W. Murrell. The Reform Cruiser Author of the Cruise of Columbia & c.

This allegorical broadside map, designed by William Meacham Murrell, uses nautical metaphors to contrast the dangers of alcohol with the benefits of sobriety, depicting an "Ocean of Life" flanked by two continents. The western continent features negative realms such as Sickness Province and Dishonesty Kingdom, while the eastern continent showcases positive areas like Repentance Kingdom and Friendship Regions. Central to the map are the Alcohol Islands, each named after a type of drink, such as Whiskey Island and Wine Island.
