DESCRIPTION: Sold

Rare humorous pictorial map of Texas titled "The United States as seen through the eyes of Texas" by Beatrice West, Dallas, Texas. West's map depicts the State of Texas as occupying about a third of the area of the United States, with comic place names. The Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Ocean are called Nimitz' River, Texas' Ocean, and Eisenhower's Lake respectively. Copyright 1946.

Only two examples of the map are recorded in WorldCat, one at LOC. No copies found on the Internet.

The Catalog of Copyright Entries shows an entry for January 28, 1947 at a size of 29 1/2 cm x 40 cm, precisely matching the dimensions of our example.

In 1948 West issued a similar copyrighted linen postal card containing significant changes in content, particularly in the text. (1)

Note: any fuzziness or misalignment in the displayed image is an artifact solely due to the joining of two photo images.
