Description
Limned by John Courtney Sandefur
Scarce pictorial map of the Monterey area, promoting tourism in the region, published for the Hotel Jeffery
The map encompasses the area along the California coast from above Santa Cruz to below Salinas.
This map is in the style of other earlier maps of the region by Ruth Taylor White, but the choice of verbs -- Limned == is definitely Jo Mora's influence.
Rarity
This is the first example of the map we have offered for sale.
Condition Description
Evidence of fold splitting.
