| $125.00 | Perone--Frank-T- | WWII-FDR-Patriotic-Pictorial-Map-Photo-with-Perrone-MS-signature | One-of-a-kind WWII FDR patriotic pictorial map of the United States with creator's manuscript dedication and MS signature of Frank T. Perone. A photographic copy from the original. No other copy of this map was found.
<br></br>
Similar to, but different from, a 10" x 14" colored version of Perone's map published by Allied Printing of Atlantic City titled "Remember Pearl Harbor" (of which no known examples were found in institutional collections). Probably an earlier concept design by Perone.
<br></br>
Includes several scenes and features found in the (presumed later) colored version including the association of freedom, defense, and recovery with the initials FDR.
<br></br>
Differs from the colored version as follows:
<div class="indenttextblocksingle">
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Our map is not set upon a flag background, rather the flags appear at the image sides.</li>
<li>Our map shows FDR as a much older man, not the youthful FDR found in the colored version.</li>
<li>Our map shows engines and a top gunners-turret on the airplane.</li>
<li>Perhaps most interesting is our map includes an image of a four-finned rocket in flight that is missing from the colored version.</li>
</ul>
