‘The Map of the New World’, 1928, designed by Edward Everett Henry. Published and commissioned by the Washington Square Book Shop, Greenwich Village, New York City. Double hemispherrical world map, playing in particular on Pieter Goos' world map, with art deco elements. Around the map are illustrations of human life from the stone age to the armistice, indicating an idea of human progress which culminates in a futuristic city at the bottom of the map, illuminated by light shining down from a printing press. The map depicts what it proposes as key moments in exploration: 'Columbus lands at Cuba 1492'; 'Vasco da Gama reaches India via Cape of Good Hope 1498'; 'Magellan sails around the world, 1522'; 'Steam ship 'Savannah' makes first trip across the Atlantic 1819'; 'Discovery of the North Pole by Peary 1909'; 'Amundsen discovers the South Pole 1911'; 'Alcock and Brown cross the Atlantic 1919'; 'Citroen African expedition 1923'; 'Lindbergh flies from New York to Paris, 1927'; 'Capt Kingsford-Smith, Ulm, Lyon & Warner cross the Pacific, 1928'; 'Capt Koehl von Huenefeld & Fitzmaurice fly from Ireland to Labrador 1828'.
