A New Yorker & Bostonians Idea of the USA Maps, vintage maps, copyrighted to Daniel K Wallingford circa 1936, each map shows a The U.S. is reimagined through the collective and biased perspective of New Yorkers and Bostonians who lack interest in the rest of America, since New York is described as a unique nation within a NATION and it is drawn in a much larger and disproportional scale than the other de-emphasized states, which are often labeled and described incorrectly. For example, on the map, Minneapolis and Indianapolis are situated in Michigan and listed as The Twin Cities. California has become three separate states, San Francisco, California, and Hollywood, complete with a small figure of a movie director shouting orders in the State of Hollywood. This map is surrounded by an ocean dotted with small ships, and the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and a Fifth Avenue Coach bus are depicted in small boxes on the margins beneath New York State.
