Description

Extreme Rarity.

Rare and highly decorative pictorial map of southern California, drawn by Dillon Lauritzen.

The map shows fifty major landmarks spread across the various southern California counties. These range from the San Diego Missions and the La Jolla Caves to Morro Rock and the High Sierra peaks. Interestingly, the definition of southern California appears to extend much further north in the east, even including Mono County.

Lauritzen was a noted pictorial artist who, in addition, to his watercolor output, produced historical maps of the southwest for the Automobile Club of Southern California, including the present. This map was produced in conjunction with a radio show that appeared in the spring of 1933 on KNX radio hosted by Raine Bennett.
