c. 1940
Maker: E. D. West Co..
Brightly colored antique map of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket created for and sold by the E. D. West Co., South Yarmouth, Mass. The map is not dated but was likely produced around the 1940s. Colored by town with labels for each town and village. The locations of lighthouses are represented, but not the specific lighthouses themselves. Both bridges are noted and the location of Camp Edwards is labeled, suggesting there may have been special interest in it due to the war. Most noticeably, the compass of the map is whimsically made by the eye of a large fish at the upper center. This map is available drymounted (for $150) or folded (for $125). Drymounted maps are not able to be shipped and must be picked-up in store. Very good condition with folds as issued. Approx. 21.75 x 18 inches to the neatline.
