| $250.00 | Shaw--Suzanne | Pacific-Seacoast-Experience-A-Pictorial-Map-of-Californias-Maritime-History | A richly illustrated pictorial map of the Pacific coast, drawn by Suzanne Shaw in 1985. Centered on California, <i>Pacific Seacoast Experience</i> combines coastal geography with scenes from maritime history. Sailing ships, sea life, explorers, lighthouses, and historical anecdotes crowd the land and water, inviting the viewer to follow the coast from place to place.<br><br>
Illustrated panels around the border depict notable vessels and lighthouses, while inset maps and text add detail to the main image. Shaw uses the conventions of an old sea chart - an ornamental border, compass rose, and elaborate title cartouche - to present a modern, densely annotated celebration of the Pacific seaboard. |
