Description: [El Monte, California]: [Latin American Village], 1947. 1st edition. Not located on OCLC. Black quarter leather portfolio [bespoke?], blue morocco spine, over black cloth boards with title gilt stamped to front cover. A collection of 5 color serigraph pictorial maps preceded by an illustrated title leaf, printed on 4-ply pebbled tag board. Elephant folio. 22-1/4" x 13-1/4". Portfolio - Nr Fine. Maps/title leaf - VG (modest wear & soiling/eveidence of prior mounting [?] to versos). Scarce early group of serigraphs by the California artist Fine, who was associated with Latin American Village for over a decade. As an aside, we note the American Towns map names Oakland, but omits San Francisco.. surely the only map ever drawn of post-1850 California which does so.
