Catalog notes

The title promises an impartial view, yet four winter-resort hotels are the reason for this map. Jacksonville, Sanford, Tallahassee, and Rockledge become destinations in a geography of travel and accommodation. It is an appealing addition because the map’s purpose is so visible: the reader is not only learning where places are, but also being encouraged to consider particular places to stay.
