"TWA - The Lindbergh Line Airway Map and Air Log", White, Ruth Taylor

This colorful 24-page brochure features ten distinctive pictographic maps by Ruth Taylor. The maps detail the air trails across the United States as flown by Trans World Airlines in the 1930s. Each map is densely filled with Taylor's playful images describing industry and activities in the area. The dimensions given are for each two-page spread as this is the layout employed in the brochure. The dramatic cover is in bold red, blue and yellow ink. The newly created Boulder Dam (September 1935) is shown on two of the maps. Passengers were given this brochure as a souvenir of their flight in the innovative DC-2 aircraft. The folding brochure measures 4.3 x 9.1".
