(NY.-NY) The New York 1939 World's Fair Map, Tony Sarg, 1939
It was a format that was short-lived, but when walking canes were still in vogue, there were several instances of maps being rolled into the shaft of a cane with a retractable spring that one could pull out the map for reference and put it back while walking. This is an instance of one of those maps. This is the map that was issued by Tony Sarg for the world's fair of 1939, but without its cane. A neat novelty from a notable pictorial mapmaker.This map has been professionally restored and backed with archival paper, whith some minor chipping and loss to the right edge. Image size is approximately 19 x 12.75 (inches)
