Genuine Antique Colored Map

1942

Maker: Ernest Dudley Chase.

Illustrated antique pictorial map of South America by Ernest Dudley Chase, of South America during World War II, with elaborate cartouche featuring wrought iron detailing and highlighting South American revolutionary hero Simon Bolivar, includes dozens of architectural, natural, and commercial images and descriptions. This map was originally titled "The Good Neighbor Pictorial Map of South America" in reference to President Roosevelt's "good neighbor policy" of 1933, but this map was reissued later for the Moore-McCormack company to show their routes. From 1938 Moore-McCormack ran the "Good Neighbor Fleet" liners Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina between New York and the east coast of South America. The ships were taken into US Navy service during World War 2, then continued their service between NY and South America from 1948-1954. Good overall antique condition with some stains and creasing/wear at the paper edges, especially the upper left corner and left side. Measures approx. 27 x 20 inches.
