Additional Details

Early 20th-century traveler's map helpfully and humorously designed by noted American cartoonist, John Held, Jr. The red roadways lead through figures or icons intimating regional intrigue and connect 19 dark stars marking the "Real New England Inns" named in the border panels (though two are in Michigan and one is in Tennessee, which is decidedly not New England).

No copies traced.
