Beautiful, antique pictorial map of Iowa from "Our Gay Geography" by Frank & Ruth Taylor, published in 1935. This is an authentic print removed from the atlas and is NOT a computer reproduction.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Condition: Very Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being almost 90 years old. Light edge-wear, toning and small wear along border where map was removed from atlas, but this will all read as vintage character when framed.
