An extremely scarce 1936 Phillips D. Booth pictorial map of Rhode Island, offering a compelling portrait of the state on its tercentenary.A Closer Look
The map depicts Rhode Island and Narragansett Bay, with Block Island along the bottom border. Banners mark cities and towns, while historical sites, reservoirs, appealing tourist destinations, and airports are labeled. Icons identify airports, yacht clubs, golf clubs, and lighthouses. Views above and below the map highlight historic buildings, such as the State House, churches, and old courthouses. The coats of arms of cities and towns throughout Rhode Island line all four sides.Publication History and Census
