Description
Here is a fabulous rare Oz map for the serious collector. This oversized “Map of the Magical World of Oz” is printed on blue poster stock and features the Land of Oz in the center, with lands from the other Baum/Thompson books in the surrounding space. These include the Valley of Mo, Boboland, the Kingdom of Ix, Merryland, etc. And best of all, in the poster border, all 14 Reilly & Lee “white cover” Oz books are displayed! This was one of a set of two advertising poster/maps put out by Reilly & Lee (Henry Regnery Company), copyright 1968. This map is larger and more beautiful than Oz Club maps and is quite rare. Size is about 12″ x 18″.
The base of the map proclaims:
“These are the Wonderlands and Wonder Islands Surrounding Oz in L. Frank Baum’s Famous Oz Books”
“The Reilly & Lee Company (address)”
“Publishers of the Original Oz Books since 1904”
The map is in good condition with some fold marks and softening from being rolled up. There is also a small “Brookside School Library” stamp on the back corner, but no pinholes or other markings. Also has two tiny edge tears (~ 1/8”) at the base. Will be shipped rolled.
