    Rambles through our country : an instructive geographical game for the young

    Visual Materials

    Image of a pictorial map of the United States used as an interactive game board. Regional landmarks and natural features of each state are illustrated with simplistic and exaggerated imagery (i.e. waterfalls, mountains, wild animals, government buildings, foliage). Specific areas on the map are numbered. The print has two vignettes, one on the upper right corner which depicts the Statue of Liberty, an American Eagle and American flags next to text that reads, "The Rising Generation." Another vignette located on the bottom left corner of the print depicts a dramatized image of four indigenous people holding rifles while hiding out amongst trees on a hill watching over a train that passes by below. Bodies of water are shown bordering the map, illustrated with sails and ferries.
