Date of Creation:
1933
Scarce pictorial map of Mount Hope Bridge and vicinity,
extending from Newport and Prudence Island in the west to Martha's Vineyard, Falmouth and Buzzard's Bay in the east, showing Rhode Island, New Bedford and environs, part of Cape Cod and Nantucket, dedicated to the opening of the new Mount Hope Bridge which had recently opened to connect the mainland to Aquidneck island and Newport.
“Haley and Hetherington’s map plays to the tourist market, emphasizing the maritime history, coastal resorts, and quaint villages of Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts. The map is beautifully drawn and coloured, making it one of the most attractive of the mass-produced tourist maps published before World War II” (Hornsby page 161).
