Colorful and whimsical commemorative map commissioned by Filene's to celebrate Boston's Tercentenary in 1930.

Text mimics 17th century English and border illustrations humorously note Puritanical dress codes. Verso is a brochure displaying the many flags associated with the early United States around the time of the Revolution. Map area measures 12 X 18 inches.
