An excellent copy, courtesy of the David Rumsey Map Collection, of the colorful, one time printing of Jo Mora's map of his Carmel-by-the-Sea carte (the word Jo used for his maps).
Pictured here, courtesy of the David Rumsey Map Collection, is the original pen and ink drawing by Jo Mora of his Carmel-by-the-Sea carte from 1942. It is interesting to note how little Chinawhite (used back in the day to cover mistakes) there is on the drawing - an indication of Jo Mora's sure hand and committed approach to his work.

George Sterling was an American writer, poet, and playwright who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and Carmel-by-the-Sea[1].

Sterling was also known for his charismatic personality and was friends with other prominent writers of his time, such as Jack London and Ambrose Bierce[2][5].

Robinson Jeffers was an American poet known for his work about the central California coast[1]. He was born on January 10, 1887, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and is considered an icon of the environmental movement[1][2]. Jeffers developed a style that meshed with his philosophy, and his poetry was often written in narrative and epic form[3][1]. He is known for his biting language and ability to communicate the phantasmagoria of terror[3]. Jeffers viewed human life as a frantic, often contemptible struggle within a net of passions, and his work was controversial[4]. He is considered one of the greatest American poets of the natural world and one of the most powerful narrative poets America has produced[2].https://www.perplexity.ai/?s=m&uuid=57905fd9-3174-466a-b748-1e8b04f38fa5
