This is a 1948 Janet Smalley and Jeanne McLavy pictorial map of the world. Icons placed across the world highlight historic landmarks, such as the Lincoln Memorial, Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro, the Sphinx at Giza, the Acropolis in Athens, St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, and the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Other icons illustrate trains, planes, and buses, moving the world's people from one place to another. Churches appear throughout the world as well, although many are not identifiable. Penguins appear along the bottom border. Five blank boxes are scattered around the map, likely meant to highlight cultural events worldwide, since one box contains an illustration of the Boy's Festival in Japan. (more details)
