Map of Texas and the Loyal Colonies Sometimes Referred to as the United States

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Souvenir scarf printed with a humorous pictorial "Map of Texas and the Loyal Colonies Sometimes Referred to as the United States." Somewhat similar in concept to Wither's "A Texan's Map of U.S.A." but the humor is much more likely to brag about Texas than to make fun of their neighboring states with derogatory labeling. Copyright 1956 by Nowotny-Burrell Company (bottom left corner). Scarce.

Contains a direction indicator near upper right that was copyrighted by Nowotny-Burrell and Company, San Antonio on July 31, 1952. The copyright is for a "Texan's direction Indicator. Five pointed star indicating, north, east, south, Texas, and west." The history of cartography took a great leap forward with the invention of this novel and humorous compass rose.

100 percent rayon. Made in Japan. Probably a later edition of the map ca. 1960, not a silk and rayon blend. Green edging.
