The design updates an earlier Victorian prototype, \"The Open Country of Woman’s Heart\" and \"The Fortified Country of Man’s Heart\", attributed only to “A Lady” and published by the Kellogg Brothers (Connecticut). Read today, the humour rests on mid-20th-century gender stereotypes—domestic security, sociability and romance for women; autonomy, appetite and ego-defence for men—yet it is also easy to see why some viewers might find elements of the caricature still recognisable (e.g. “sports car flats” and “gossip swamp”), helping to explain the image’s enduring decorative and cultural appeal.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52007500808539,"sku":"P-7-028107","price":480.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028107a.jpg?v=1767888361","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/geographical-guide-to-a-man-woman-s-heart-by-jo-lowrey-satirical-map-1960-p-7-028107","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
