An Original Vintage Linenbacked World's Fair Poster (measures 35 1/4" x 44 3/4") (Learn More) A Food Map of the United States, the 1932 special poster ("showing the part played by each of our States in supplying the Nation's larder") printed for the 1933 World's Fair (by A & P, which used to be the foremost grocery store chain in the U.S.) and depicting the agricultural production of each state. This poster features colorful art of the U.S. by Louis Fancher. Note that at the time this poster was created, A & P had around 16,000 stores in the U.S. (making it like the Wal-Mart of today), and that's probably why they had money to splurge on things like this food map! The company went bankrupt in 2010, but reorganized and is still hanging on with 338 stores! If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Louis Fancher Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good.
