This is the only known surviving example of one of the Lindgren Brother's earliest 'Hysterical Maps', their 1933 pictorial map of Mount Rainier. It is one of just 9 maps issued by the Lindgren Brothers using an ad hoc silkscreen technique they pioneered in-house - all of the Lindgren Brothers' rare screen-printed maps are striking for their rich color. After their first map in 1932, the Lindgren Brothers produced just four more maps in 1933, all copyrighted by local advertising agent Lee R. Double, likely a client of their sign-painting business.
