Maker: Tony Sarg.
Antique printed color map booklet for the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. Colorful, fun, and immensely interesting, this booklet features several pictorial maps intended to guide visitors to and around the World's Fair. It was held at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York. The first map in the book is a guide to getting there, showing major routes and public transport information. This map opens at the center to show an overview map of the fair itself. The following pages display the Exhibit Area, International Zone, Transportation Zone, and the Amusement Area. Each of the four maps have a key at the bottom and an illustrated border. Good to very good condition with some minor stains, a vertical fold at the middle of the booklet, a few minor creases at the edges. This map booklet is a bit fragile and should be handled with care. It could be framed to showcase one particular map with the others hidden. To show them all, reproductions would need to be made. The largest map measures approx. 11.25 x 44.5 inches. Most of the maps measure approx. 11.25 x 22.5 inches. Comes with an Official Guide Book for the Fair.
