These whimsical maps, often known as cartographs, combine graphic style, color and comical observation. In this map of the "Big Island," cartoonish characters populate the island with major roads and points of interest noted, which actually makes this a fairly useful map for the tourist. Decorated by a ribbon style banner and a descriptive cartouche. Related text on verso.
