Description
Title Cartouche
The title cartouche is where Friedman's humor is most apparent. A sketch of a hunter being chased by a bear is captioned as follows: 'big game hunting in Florida provides all kinds of entertainment!' A man making eye contact with a dolphin states 'Great sea monsters 'stare right back' at Marineland near St. Augustine!'Publication History and Census
This map was drawn by Kenneth A. Friedman and accompanied Kenneth A. Friedman's Cartoon Guide of Florida published in 1938 by J. J. Augustin. The guidebook is well represented in institutional collections, but the separate map does not appear in OCLC. An example of the guidebook and the map is part of the David Rumsey Map Collection. While the guidebook is well represented institutionally, it is rarely seen on the private market.Cartographer
