Elmer and Berta Hader
28 x 23 cm
Pictorial map of Colorado and Wyoming using whimsical humour to emphasize various aspects of the state.
It was part of the Picture Book of the States and put its own take on a style pioneered by Macdonal Gill and his Wonderground Map.
As well as publishing this charming book, the Haders illustrated more than 70 children's books, about half of which they also wrote. Their style was extremely influential, inspiring many other artist/cartographers. Original colour. [USA9847]
