Description

The Rarest Lindgren Brothers Map?! Not in Rumsey, OCLC, nor Google.

Wonderful and intriguing Lindgren Brothers map of their hometown of Spokane, Washington and its surroundings.

This map of Spokane is in the characteristic "Hysterical Map" style, with a bright yellow background and blue border, so often associated with the Lindgrens' pictorial maps of Western National Parks.

This screenprint map plays up Spokane's dry and sunny climate (in contrast to eastern Washington) and includes dozens of cartoon vignettes of humorous local scenes and landmarks.

Rarity

While there are many scarce Lindgren maps and variants thereof, the utter untraceability of this image is somewhat strange; the Lindgrens resided and published in Spokane, after all.

We have not had the map before, nor is it in the Rumsey Collection, nor in OCLC, nor can we find it in general Google searches.

While it is hard to imagine that the map is a unique survival, it cannot have been printed in a very large run, and perhaps only a handful are extant today.

Condition Description
Screenprint. Partially mounted on card for framing, probably by a modern framer. This could probably be taken off reasonably easily by a restorer. Otherwise excellent.
