Get a chuckle out of this wooden jigsaw puzzle of a vintage pictorial map by Oren Arnold (1940) showcasing a California-centric view of the United States! Filled with humorous illustrations, exaggerated landmarks, and playful stereotypes, this map offers a lighthearted take on American geography and culture. Perfect for Californians, those who love a good laugh, and anyone who appreciates unique and whimsical art, this print adds a touch of retro humor to any space.

Landmark Highlight:

This map playfully distorts the United States to emphasize California's perceived importance. It exaggerates the size of California landmarks like Hollywood, Disneyland, and Yosemite, while downplaying or poking fun at other states and regions. New York City is depicted as a small island, Texas is overrun with cowboys, and the Midwest is portrayed as a vast, empty expanse. The map's humor lies in its exaggerated perspective and its willingness to poke fun at regional stereotypes.

The map "Map of the United States as Californians See It" was created in 1948 by Oren Arnold. This wooden puzzle depicts a whimsical portrayal of the United States from the perspective of Californians. The exaggerated geographic and cultural elements would provide an entertaining and thought-provoking challenge while assembling the puzzle. This unique and educational gift celebrates the lighthearted and imaginative nature of the artwork, appealing to history buffs, art enthusiasts, and puzzle aficionados alike.

Whether you are a proud Californian or a curious outsider, this puzzle will make you laugh and think. Order yours today and see America through the eyes of Californians!
