Title
A name given to the resource
New York: The Empire State
Description
An account of the resource
Advertising map created by the Mentholatum Company promises the "romantic epochs of of New York history paraded before us in picturesque array." Although its text narrative and dates address the state's history, there also are many features of the tourist or "romance" map genre: figures in stylized period costume; winter activities in the Adirondacks; the Empire State Building located wherever it will fit; several sites of business and industry, including a Mentholatum factory located in Buffalo, NY.
The map also is interesting for its division of the state into four cultural "influences" indicated by color: French, English, Dutch, and Neutral. The Adirondack Mountains resemble a leaf in fall color.
