Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display)

Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Ruth Taylor White Ruth D. Taylor White was an American pictorial mapmaker, what they liked to call 'carto-graphy'. One of her first published works was a cover of The Stanford Illustrated Review, where her brother Frank attended university. Frank was an accomplished journalist and writer, and Ruth provided the illustrations for two of his books Oh Ranger! A Book About the National Parks and Grand Canyon Country. In the spring of 1930, White traveled to Hawaii, where she received a commission from the Hawaii Tourist Bureau to create pictorial maps of the Hawaiian Islands. White’s most famous work, a pictorial atlas entitled, Our USA: A Gay Geography was published in 1935 and was filled with ‘cartography’ of each state. Adapted from - Geographicus https://www.geographicus.com/P/ctgy&Category_Code=whiteruthtaylor Map a-day-in May (a thirty-one cabinet display) Ruth Taylor White Taylor, F. and Taylor,R. (1935). Our U.S.A a gay geography. Little Brown and Company, Boston. Our Gay Geography was marketed and designed for children as an entertaining and fanciful pictorial illustrated atlas of the United States, which includes a full color map and a page of historical and geographical text for each of the 48 states plus the Territories of Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Philippines, as well as a map of the Caribbean showing Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Panama Canal Zone as well as the rest of the Antilles (56 maps in total). Numerous small cartoons on the map of each state depict historically significant sites, peoples, activities, crops, animals, populated places, etc. A product of the 1930s, the atlas is rife with stereotypical and often racist caricatures of an individual state's inhabitants, particularly in the South and in the West. In addition to these insensitive depictions of peoples, the atlas also reflects the era in which it was produced in terms of stereotypical gender roles as well as in its portrayals of what was important or noteworthy about states and regions in terms of present-day agricultural and industrial products and social activities. To this end, the atlas consistently presents a whitewashed narrative of local and national history. The cartography and illustrations were done by Ruth Taylor White (1896-1985) who was educated at Stanford, where she majored in English, and at the New York Institute of Art and Design. Throughout her career she referred to her maps as "cartographs." Her brother Frank Taylor, a journalist, authored the text of the atlas.

The couple moved to Africa, living in Nairobi, Kenya, and then Cape Town, South Africa where he served in the Royal Navy during WWII. He rose to the rank of Lt. Commander, Royal Navy.

While still in Africa, Furse developed an interest in making pictorial maps. Eventually, Furse and his wife moved to North America where Furse continued to draw. For a time, the couple lived in Laguna Beach, California, USA. Then, in 1962, they moved to the village of Hampton, New Brunswick, Canada, where Furse and his wife, their daughter Kathy, and her husband sculptor John Hooper, were members of the 'Hampton Group’ artists’ community.
