Pictorial Art Deco "Garden Lovers" map of Florida focusing on its rich range
of natural flora and fauna, including flowers and trees in state parks, gardens,
arboretums, reserves, etc. Among the sites shown are Sebring Highland Hammock
& Arboretum, Royal Palm State Park, Audubon Bird Reserve, and Apalachicola National
Forest. The map is enclosed in rich border illustrating plants and bird species
indigenous to Florida, including Roseate Spoonbill and Flamingo. The cartouche describes the map as follows: This chart, an authoritative guide, is offered as a practical aid to those seeking the floral beauty of Florida. It not only makes available lovely gardens of the state but also marks fugitive places of natural flora, National and State Reservations of wildlife, little known shrines of great trees and groves and those hidden pools of surpassing enchantment where underground rivers gush to the surface in flowing springs. It would further suggest something of the brilliant color, the mood, the spirit and the reality which is Florida. |
