{"product_id":"93006","title":"1932 Pictorial map of New York","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew York, one of only eight states given its own dedicated page in Berta and Elmer Hader's 1932 \u003cem\u003ePicture Book of the States\u003c\/em\u003e, is depicted in this excerpted pictorial map spanning the state's full reach from the Great Lakes to the Hudson corridor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Erie Canal threads the sheet's midsection from Buffalo on Lake Erie to Albany on the Hudson, with the Adirondacks rising in the north and the Catskills closing the southeast where the Hudson narrows toward a New York City too large for the book's scale. Vignettes anchor the sheet's colonial and revolutionary history, including Father Hennepin's 1676 exploration of the Great Lakes and Fort Ticonderoga, where Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys seized the fort from the British in the Revolution. The reverse carries a corresponding fact sheet for the book's Pennsylvania and New Jersey entry, a consequence of the book's binding structure, in which each state's descriptive text appears on the verso of the preceding map leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBerta Hoerner Hader (1890–1976) and Elmer Stanley Hader (1889–1973) were a husband-and-wife illustration team among the most celebrated collaborators in American children's publishing, having won the Caldecott Medal, the highest honor in American children's book illustration, along with two additional Caldecott Honors. \u003cem\u003ePicture Book of the States\u003c\/em\u003e, their 1932 collaboration with Harper \u0026amp; Brothers, covers forty-eight states and the District of Columbia across twenty-eight illustrated leaves, each paired on its facing page with keyed descriptive text so that map and text could be cross-referenced at a glance. The result renders the American landscape, its industries, natural resources, and notable personalities, in the Haders' characteristic whimsical style, informative and warm at once.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New World Cartographic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43334564020285,"sku":"93006","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/9705\/files\/wr93006.jpg?v=1783710547","url":"https:\/\/nwcartographic.com\/products\/93006","provider":"New World Cartographic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
