This lot contains 3 classic Beverly Hills- Hollywood tour maps covering a 10-year period from 1942-52. Each is filled with the addresses to stars homes including Fred Astaire, Alfred Hitchcock and Ed Sullivan to name a few (though Hitchcock and Sullivan are no longer listed in the 1952 edition, demonstrating the changing nature of these maps). Each includes a list of “Famous Night Clubs and Cafes” at top right. The 1942 map is accompanies by the rare original blue and orange envelope with title Guide and Map with Home Addresses of Movie Stars (4.3 x 7.0").
