Useful map to the New York City-holiday seeker with railway lines to all the surrounding resorts and hotels of the area. Issued as a sort of premium by the lacquer manufacturers in charmingly illustrated wrappers depicting a man surprised by a bulldog while pasting signs to a wooden fence--his bucket and brush are clattering to the ground as he hurdles over the fence in fright. The signs he has mounted all feature promotional text for Moller & Schumann products: baking varnishes and Japans turpentine lacquers for canned goods and tinware etc. The center sign reproduces a letter from the Department of State awarding the company a certificate from the Sydney International Exposition of 1879.
