H. J. LAWRENCE ISLE OF PLEASURE. 1931.
22x171/2 inches.
Condition A.
A fantasy-fueled, Prohibition-era map dedicated to the whimsical cartography of a drinker's mind. The image, in pink, yellow, green, blue and gray, is of a skull-shaped island on which every image is a visual pun somehow related to drinking; from the "hangover hollow" to the "19th hole" on a golf course.
