{"product_id":"93025","title":"1932 Pictorial map of Nebraska and Kansas","description":"\u003cp\u003eNebraska and Kansas are depicted together in this excerpted pictorial map from Berta and Elmer Hader's 1932 \u003cem\u003ePicture Book of the States\u003c\/em\u003e, carrying the atlas's densest record of overland movement across the central plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sheet runs from Nebraska's Platte River valley and Scotts Bluff east to Omaha on the Missouri, and across Kansas from Kansas City through Council Grove to the southwest along the Santa Fe Trail. Vignettes trace the overland routes that converge across this map, among them the Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail, and Pony Express, with Scotts Bluff marked as the Oregon Trail's most recognizable landmark and Coronado's 1541 entrada noted in southern Kansas. The reverse carries a corresponding fact sheet for the book's North and South Dakota 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":43334602915901,"sku":"93025","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/9705\/files\/wr93025.jpg?v=1783715587","url":"https:\/\/nwcartographic.com\/products\/93025","provider":"New World Cartographic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
