This is a 1937 C. W. Holliday pictorial map of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Cape Cod's maritime history takes center stage. Illustrations of numerous sailing ships, The Mayflower and Northern Light (the clipper ship that connected Boston and San Francisco via Cape Horn), ply the waters surrounding the Cape. A whale, a gigantic 'sacred cod', and flocks of seagulls and geese appear as well. Lighthouses around the cape are prominently illustrated, along with windmills, airports, and the region's road network. The Cape Cod Sea Serpent entwines itself around the compass in the lower left quadrant and a pair of them occupy the top of the title cartouche. The maritime theme carries over to the cartouches and the border; all are created out of thick rigging rope. Views, historic anecdotes, and maritime scenes create the border itself. (more details)
