Cartoons promote post-war Florida.
This is a 1946 Bill Skacel cartoon map of Florida. Cartoons appear throughout highlighting Florida attractions, including the winter quarters of Ringling Brothers, the Bok Singing Tower (which has a face here), and Daytona Speedway. An elderly gentleman marks St. Augustine, referencing its status as America's oldest city. Orange, lemon, and palm trees highlight Florida's semi-tropical climate, along with numerous women in bikinis and a mermaid! Key West is marked by a large key on wheels and Silver Springs appears as a large silver spring.Verso Content
