Illustrated, retro New England tourist poster - ca. 1950

This New England tourism and geography poster is an illustrated work that captures the spirit of the American region. The map features a colorful view of the six states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. It is richly adorned with pictorial illustrations detailing the region's activities, landmarks, towns, lighthouses, and iconic wildlife, such as the moose depicted in the north. The Atlantic Ocean is also illustrated with boats, a sun compass, and a whale. Major cities such as Boston, Providence, and Hartford, as well as coastal resorts such as Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket, are highlighted. This map, whose style suggests it was designed to promote tourism and travel, is both informative and a beautiful decorative item. The map measures approximately 84 cm by 60 cm.
