F.E. CHEESEMAN (DATES UNKNOWN)
ALBERT RICHARD ALL - AMERICAN FOOTBALL MAP. 1941.
19x25 1/2 inches, 48 1/4x64 3/4 cm. Milwaukee. Condition A-: small repaired tears at edges.
This map was issued by Albert Richard, a Milwaukee-based manufacturer of men's and boys coats. These promotional posters were printed for the years 1938, 1939, 1940 and 1941. After World War II broke out, F.E. Cheeseman veered away from football-themed maps, in favor of more overtly-patriotic subjects. "Pictorial maps also showed American sports and pastimes. The regionalist movement of the 1930s, well represented by WPA guides to individual states, inspired an interest in folklore . . . American sports were also mapped, notably by F.E. Cheeseman in his series of college football maps" (Picturing America p, 79.)
