Chase, Clara Katrine (sold)
Clara Katrine Chase (March 12, 1902 - February 22, 1987) was an American map publisher. She was celebrated cartographer Ernest Dudley Chase's (1878-1966) third wife and at least one of his maps, a pictorial map of Cape Cod, appears with her imprint (designed and drawn by Clara K. Chase) in 1956. However, it is unclear exactly what role Clara played in publishing her husband's maps.
Charming pictorial map of Cape Cod.
This is a 1956 Clara K. Chase revision of Ernest Dudley Chase's iconic map of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. The map covers from Marshfield to Nantucket and from Martha's Vineyard to Provincetown, comprehensive of the towns of Duxbury, Kingston, Plymouth, Falmouth, Hyannis, Chatham, Wellfleet, Nantucket, and Edgartown, among others. Historical sites are rendered in profile. Wonderful vignettes surround the map, most of which are annotated with descriptive text, some of which are quite humorous. (more details)
