On the Routes of the PAN AM Flying Clipper Ships

A gorgeous pictorial map from Pan Am Airlines (PAA) showing part of North America, Central America, and South America. The map depicts the routes of the "Flying Clipper Ships" in thick brown lines with dots representing the ports of call. The map is loaded with artistic vignettes showing various local resources, products, points of interest, activities, anecdotes, and other fun information. Text call-outs abound describing all of these things. Flags of the various countries adorn the lower edge of the map.
The listing of this map shows some evidence for the provenance of the map. The map was acquired in the custom inlaid Rosewood (or perhaps a type of Walnut) frame by Atelier Elizabeth in Rio de Janeiro in the 1930's and labeled with "Industria Brasileira Atelier Elizabeth, R.D. Gerardo 44, Rio De Janeiro". The padding materials used to fill the void in the framing was found to be a local Rio De Janeiro newspaper dated "18 De Setembro De 1940". It would be quite safe to presume the map was framed in Rio De Janeiro sometime in September, 1940.
NOTE: Frame is NOT INCLUDED with the map in this listing. Please contact Larsen Fine Maps Gallery should you be interested in acquiring the frame separately as well.
