A highly unusual c. 1940 Albert Albert Mestre i Moragas pictorial map of North America issued by Chocolates Orthi, Piera Y Brugueras of Tarragona, Spain. This beautiful pictorial map is an uncut sheet of 50 trading cards that were issued inside boxes of Spanish chocolates. Pictorial illustrations of indigenous Native Americans as well as regional fauna appear throughout.
