This elaborate pictorial map poster was published by Funny Funny World in Beverly Hills. It extends from Burbank south to Catalina with colorful illustrations engulfing the map including depictions of Magic Mountain, Sunset Strip, Santa Monica Pier, Dodger Stadium, Chinatown, LAX, Disneyland and much more. A network of white highways break up the busy composition, while a whale spouts off the coast near Marineland. Further decorated by a sun and cloud title cartouche and compass rose in the Pacific Ocean. Despite the relatively recent date of the map (1976), we found only two past sales records for this 1976 edition, one 1981 edition, and no examples listed on OCLC.
