Cartoon Map of Hollywood
A fun look at movies and the stars at the dawn of the Golden Age
Harrison Godwin (1899 – 1984) was an American cartoonist and map illustrator active in California during the first half of the 20th century.
Here’s Godwin’s humorous take on Hollywood. It features a history of Hollywood that starts in upper left and proceeds around the perimeter. Within the map are location of landmarks, notable events and famous film stars of the era.
Another great map by Harrison Godwin
See the Spanish Americas (1928)
1928 pictorial map by Harrison Godwin promoting the routes of the Panama Mail Steam Ship Company. In Godwin's classic style, the map humorously covers North American from New York and San Francisco south to Colombia, including all of Central America, Mexico, and Cuba.

LOVE!
Jeez Louise! Harrison had some free time and an eye for detail. Whereas I have an eye only for Delores del Rio.
