RUTH TAYLOR (DATES UNKNOWN) WINE MAP / CALIFORNIA. Circa 1945. 41 3/4x32 inches, 106x81 cm. Schwabacher-Frey Co., San Francisco. Condition B+: abrasions and restoration in margins and image . A wonderful pictorial map of the California wine country, from San Diego in the South to Eureka in the North. Known for her whimsical maps in the 1930s, much in the style of the works of Jo Mora and John Held, Jr. which were published in Our USA - A Gay Geography, Ruth Taylor created these "cartographs" for every state in the union. Here, for the Wine Advisory Board in San Francisco, her work is more sophisticated and actually less cartoon-like, as she provides historical, touristic and wine-related vignettes from all over the state.
