"Berta and Elmer Hader's Picture Book of the States", Harper Bros.

This remarkable book is filled with pictorial maps of the forty-eight states and the District of Columbia with a page of descriptive text keyed to the illustrations. Most of the maps depict two states, but Texas, California, Michigan, Florida, Virginia, New York, Massachusetts and Maine are individually shown. Each map is fully illustrated in a fanciful and quaint style reminiscent of the times. This book is rarely found whole as it is often broken up and sold as individual maps. Hader is probably best known for his dust cover illustration for Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. First edition. Hardbound in salmon colored cloth with dust cover in plastic.

Cover and contents are fine. The dust jacket has a little chipping at edge, currently in a protective cover. A beautiful example.
