Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Very good. Light toning. Rust stain to lower left corner; one small mended hole not impacting printed image. Size 15 x 15 Inches. This is a 1954 'Map-Nap' of the state of Texas, featuring a map of the United States from the perspective of a Texan. A Closer Look This colorful map, printed on a napkin, marks principal cities and is decorated pictorially with icons of the via Texana: The Alamo, the monument of San Jacinto, spouting oil wells, and other such elements. The 'Map of Texas, U.S.A.,' in particular, features an array of classically Texan attractions: the largest flying school, the largest garden, the biggest ranch, the wildest animals, the largest salt bed, the most beautiful girls, the tallest pines, the biggest jackrabbits. And so on. A list of 'Interesting Facts About Texas' offers information on the state's size, population, produce, and industry. (For example, the reader learns that Texas is 'The largest state in the Union. approximately 1/12the the area of the entire United States.') A Full Series? Beach Products appears to have produced this piece of Texana as part of a series of 'State Map-Naps.' We are aware of examples not only dedicated to Texas, but also for Florida, Indiana, Michigan, California, North Dakota, and Minnesota. While it would be reasonable to assume a plan to produce a 'Map Nap' for every state in the Union, relatively few have appeared on the market, and it may be that the project was cut short. Publication History and Census This map was printed by Beach Products Inc. of Kalamazoo, Michigan, having been copyrighted in 1954. (Beach Products was a paper goods company less known for their maps and more for their napkins.) We see no examples of the Texas Map-Nap in OCLC, but there is a single listing for another in the series (Michigan: Water Wonderland) in the collection of the Library of Michigan.…
