| $395.00 | Joerns--Consuelo | Pictorial-Map-of-Cape-Cod-with-Historic-Ships-and-Coastal-Scenes-by-Consuelo-Joerns | Detailed black-and-white pictorial map of Cape Cod by illustrator Consuelo Joerns ca. 1978, combining the peninsula's towns and landmarks with its maritime heritage. The Cape extends from Falmouth and Woods Hole to Provincetown, with town boundaries, churches, historic houses, windmills, and lighthouses depicted across the land.<br><br>
Numerous sailing vessels occupy Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, and the Atlantic, their hulls and rigging set against a densely patterned sea. Named vessels include the research ship Atlantis near Woods Hole and the Stone Horse lightship southeast of Monomoy. A compass rose accompanies the title cartouche, while surrounding panels illustrate coastal scenery, buildings, boats, and a windmill.<br><br>
The outer border carries archaically spelled passages describing the Cape's wildlife and abundant fisheries, including the statement that the voyagers "tooke great store of cod fish," explaining the origin of its English name. These historical references and the closely worked pen-and-ink style give the map the appearance of an earlier maritime print.<br><br> |
