Linscott Clarke, Dorothy

Dorothy Linscott Clarke (April 29, 1903 - May 17, 1992) was an American artist known for her pictorial maps - as such she was one of a series of pioneering women cartographers active in the pictorial map genre. She lived in Hampton, Maine, with her husband, the advertising consultant Charles C. Clarke (???? - 1969). Her earliest known work is a 1930 pictorial map of Noah's Ark, followed by the 1939 Historical Picture Map of Vermont, which is rare enough that we have never seen an example. She later lived in Sudbury or Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. She created pictorial maps of Vermont and Worcester County, Massachusetts, along with fantasy maps of subjects including Mother Goose.
