Description: Whimsical Map of Johns Hopkins by American Editorial Cartoonist Richard Q. Yardley A marvelous whimsical / pictorial map of Johns Hopkins Hospital, credited below the vignette of the front of the hospital with "Yardley drew this".The map includes comical illustrations in a 1930s cartooning style throughout, including a doctor looking at an x-ray of a woman's torso, a surgeon about to operate on a startled patient with a knife, a stork delivering a baby, the Wilmer Eye Clinic, and the Animal House (presumably where animal experimentation for medical research takes place) where one monkey examines another.A portrait of Johns Hopkins, "Baltimore Banker and Philanthropist born in 1795 and founder of the hospital that bears his name," appears in the lower left. Pictorial illustrations of neighborhood businesses on the map also appear in the border. The compass rose bears an "Rx" symbol in the center.Some of the map's content is a bit off color, including a note "Here ye Beauteous Nurses do Reside", two nurses chatting with the phrase "Did you come to get or forget," and a vignette at the top center entitled Public Health, with a doctor handing a bar of soap to a dark bathing suit clad woman. In the middle, above the "Public wards" is a backfaced patient with the phrase, "Dat Razor Was Sho Sharp! Yes Suh!" At the bottom, to the right of the primping nurse, a blackfaced man is in a donkey cart, pulling watermelons, with the captions "A Bit of Old Baltimore."At the center, a female nurse receiving her diploma (nursing degree) is noted as "Bright Girl."In all a fabulous and rare object.Item #ABF10523
