Colour lithographic double-page pictorial relief map of New England and adjoining Canada, with inset globe locating the region on the Atlantic seaboard. Harrison turns the familiar Yankee homeland into an unfamiliar prospect, stressing connections rather than boundaries: old ports, industrial valleys, rail links to New York, Canadian hinterlands, lakes, mountains, timber, waterpower and tourism. The accompanying text warns against the easy regional stereotype. New England is “more cohesive than the South or the Middle West,” yet “a place of extraordinary diversity,” where Connecticut alone means brass, insurance, tobacco, appliances and “widgets.” Harrison’s message is that geography explains character only by complicating it: the Yankee world is maritime, industrial, rural, urban, cosmopolitan, and decidedly resistant to simplification.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52983563452763,"sku":"P-8-006786","price":130.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-006786a.jpg?v=1778784369","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/the-yankee-prospect-new-england-perspective-view-richard-edes-harrison-1950-map-p-8-006786","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
