Guide to the museum; third floor
A 1924 guide to the third floor of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation in New York, aimed at visitors to its ethnological collections of Central American, West Indian and South American Indian peoples. The pictures are plain black-and-white outline maps with fine grid lines, place names in small capitals, and lettered labels, showing Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico and South America; a designer could borrow their sparse cartographic linework and lettering for schematic or historical map graphics.
