The Fauna and Flora of the Pacific. Pageant of the Pacific, 1940.
This sheet is one of six mural-maps that Miguel Covarrubias painted for Pacific House, the theme building of the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco in 1939.
Air France (world map), ca. 1948.
Date estimated. A silk scarf with a pictorial map of the world, showing the routes of Air France. It is undated. It shows a Constellation aircraft which was introduced in 1946, hence the estimated date of 1948. Probably used by Air France as a V.I.P. gift. Rare.
American folklore & Legends : By John Dukes McKee, 1950
Colorful pictorial map. Date estimated. Drawings throughout represent the genre scenes depicting the diversity of that folklore.
The map was designed during the "Arts & Crafts" movement, which was in reaction to the Industrial revolution. The map shows a fantasy world, displaying European fairy tales, literature, and Greek mythology.

By artist Bernard Sleigh
Artist statement: I used a map of London as the structure for this piece. Not only is the overall pattern the map, but the fabric pieces I painted are a smaller scale of the map. I was intrigued by the metaphor of the map in thinking about where am I in my life? Is there a map to help me when I am lost?
Quilt dress is 56" x 35".
