A colorful 9" x 12" engaging 1932 pictorial map on one side created by the renowned artists Elmer and Berta Hader and published in the children's geography "Berta and Elmer Hader's Picture Book of States." This original vintage map provides a 1930s era view of the people, places, history and activities characteristic of the two states. The opposite side offers a 5" x 3 1/2" line map of Texas and facts about the state. "Berta Hoerner Hader (ca. 1890-1976) and husband Elmer Stanley Hader (1889-1973) were both authors/illustrators. They wrote and illustrated their own books and illustrated for other authors’ publications. The Hader’s combined work resulted in more than 100 books published for children between 1927 - mid-1960's." "The Haders illustrated the books Billy Butter for another author. The story was based on an experience Berta had while living on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. The art in this book influenced John Steinbeck to request that Elmer illustrate the dust jacket for the first edition of The Grapes of Wrath."
