An old friend, with a new face

DESCRIPTION: Civil War era satirical cartoon related to secession and loyalty. Lampoons politically well-connected but inept John Floyd, considered to have been a traitor to the Union (1).

An Old Friend, With a New Face

Aesop tells of a man who drained.
His cup of avarice to the dregs;
Staked what he had to what he wished,
And lost his golden eggs.

Thus rashly acts the ambitious south,
In discontent without excuse;
Take warning and mind that ye
ARE SOUND UPON THE GOOSE.

(1) John Buchanan Floyd (1806 – 1863) 31st Governor of Virginia, U.S. Secretary of War, and Confederate general in the Civil War. Floyd lost the Battle of Fort Donelson.

Subtitled "San Joaquin Power Club", apparently this camp was originally a private club for the San Joaquin Power Company. Today the camp is run by the Pacific Service Employees Association. <br><br> The map shows hikers, horse-back riders, dancers, hunters, boaters, Boy Scouts, fishermen, and swimmers, all enjoying themselves outdoors on what appears to be some steep slopes. McDougald's store is located next to the shoreline and red-roofed Sam's Place seems to be the local watering hole, surrounded by apartments, dormitories, and numerous outhouses. The camp was named after businessman Arthur Wishon. <br><br> Arthur Emory Wishon, often known as A. Emory Wishon, was a pioneering figure in the development of hydroelectric power in California, using Bass Lake water. He served as a chief engineer and later as a vice president for San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation.

The port and various ships are prominently featured, emphasizing San Francisco's role as a major port city connecting the U.S. to Asia. <br><br> The map includes various landmarks and geographic features of the San Francisco Bay Area, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco skyscrapers, boats in the bay, and the hilly terrain. However, the proportions and layouts are not geographically accurate. <br><br> Interestingly, the hills and mountains are rendered in a colorful, undulating style reminiscent of Japanese ukiyo-e landscape prints. This gives the map a unique artistic interpretation blending American and Japanese aesthetics. The whimsical, simplified style seems designed to engage and orient viewers while capturing the general character of the Bay Area. <br><br> Published by the Port of San Francisco in 1984.
