21656Very Good. A Quintessential Artifact of the Interwar Florida Tourism Boom.<br /> A vibrant and structurally ambitious artifact of Depression-era boosterism capturing the Indian River region's pivot from a rural citrus hub to a premier 'New Deal' tourism destination. <br /> <br /> While many Florida guides of this period focused on the 'Gilded Age' glamour of the Gold Coast this 1936 booklet emphasizes the varied 'Working Man's Paradise'-blending sport fishing marsh hunting and high-yield citrus farming with the newly accessible culture of automobile travel. The multi-panel cover art is a standout specimen of mid-1930s commercial design utilizing the stylized simplified forms and saturated palettes of the interwar travel-poster movement. It provides a rare town-by-town survey of fifteen coastal localities during a period of significant regional identity formation.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Design: Multi-panel color-litho cover in classic 1930s travel-poster style.<br /> Local Profiles: Granular coverage of 15 towns including Eau Gallie Grant Indialantic and Sebastian.<br /> Branding: Heavy focus on the 'Indian River Orange' as both a commodity and a cultural symbol.<br /> Visuals: 28 pages of photographs and stylized graphic panels typical of 1930s regional marketing.<br /> Rarity: Scarce; OCLC/WorldCat records only 6 institutional holdings.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bold poster-style cover remains bright and highly presentable. There is a localized stain to the lower corner of the inside cover and first page though it does not affect the exterior graphics or the structural integrity. Otherwise a carefully handled clean example with only minor wrapper corner wear. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> The 1936 Indian River booklet marks the precise moment Florida transitioned from an agricultural frontier into a motorized tourist playground. Produced during the height of the Great Depression it uses "booster optimism" to sell a lifestyle of self-sufficiency citrus and cattle alongside modern leisure tarpon fishing and beach-going. It is a vital record of the 15 included towns-many of which were then merely small fishing villages or groves-capturing their landscape before the post-WWII development boom.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Indian River Florida Brevard County History Florida Citrus Industry 1930s Tourism WPA-Era Graphic Design Sport Fishing History Vero Beach Fort Pierce New Smyrna Florida Ephemera Travel Promotion Americana Regional History Trade Catalogues. unknown

185834811Washington DC: House of Representatives 1858. Map. Good. Disbound wraps. 8 pages of text. Text is detached from the maps. Illustrated with three large folding map and plans: 29" x 20" Plan of the "Lattice Pivot Bridge"; 34" x 26" Map showing the location of the Louisville Portland Canal along the Ohio River; 28" x 21" Plan of the Lift Lock. Maps are loose. Tears and chips outside the borders on the far edges of the folding maps. A few small pin holes at the map folded intersections.<br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The Louisville and Portland Canal was a 1.9-mile 3.1 km1 canal bypassing the Falls of the Ohio River at Louisville Kentucky. The Falls form the only barrier to navigation between the origin of the Ohio at Pittsburgh and the port of New Orleans near the Gulf of Mexico; circumventing them was long a goal for Pennsylvanian and Cincinnatian merchants.2 The canal opened in 1830 as the private Louisville and Portland Canal Company but was gradually bought out during the 19th century by the federal government which had invested heavily in its construction maintenance and improvement.<br /> <br /> The Louisville and Portland Canal was renamed as the McAlpine Locks and Dam in 1962 after extensive modernization.3 The name "Louisville and Portland Canal" or simply "Portland Canal" is still used to refer to the canal itself which runs between the Kentucky bank and Shippingport Island from about 10th Street down to the locks at 27th Street.<br /> <br /> The canal was the first major improvement to be completed on a major river of the United States.4.
