Colorful pictorial map of Seattle, published at the tail end of the Roaring 20s.
Highlighting recreation and major thoroughfares, the map offers a whimsical look at Seattle, complete with sea monsters and the starting point for the first circumnavigation of the earth by air in 1924-25 (4 US military aircraft, 175 days, 74 stops)
The map was drawn by Clara P. Reynolds, Art Director of the Seattle Public Schools and printed by the Pioneer Printing Company. It was distributed compliments of the American Crayon Company of Sandusky, Ohio.
Text around the edges of the sheet provides suggestive recommendations for support. e.g. – “Do you know that the Department of Superintendence of the National Education Association at the Dallas meeting passed a resolution recommending that art be given equal consideration and support with other basic subjects?”
