Surprisingly scarce poster ca 1970s, originally published in 1959, advertising nautical charts sold by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in Washington, D. C. A later re-issue published by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service.

A map dealer's dream meta-poster!

WorldCat contains only one record of the re-issued poster, at the University of Maryland. No copies of the original 1959 poster are known to me.
