1954 Lenz and Smith Birds-Eye View of Tampa Bay and West Florida



WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS


Title: Mr. Sun Invites You to Floridas Beautiful West Coast.

Description: This is a 1954 Charles. A. Lenz and Edward G. Smith pictorial view of Tampa Bay, Florida. The view illustrates the region from Clearwater Beach to Sarasota and from Orlando in the distance to the Gulf of Mexico. Beautifully illustrated, numerous cities and towns are illustrated in profile, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, and Clearwater. The major thoroughfares are depicted and labeled, including the Courtney Campbell Causeway, the Sunshine Skyway, and several state highways. Sailboats, tugs, barges, and large ships ply the waters of Tampa Bay, while fishing trawlers hold station in the Gulf of Mexico. Sarasota Bay is also dotted with sailboats. Beaches all along the Gulf are labeled, as are the causeways leading to the islands.
Census and Publication History
This view was created by Charles A. Lenz and Edward G. Smith and published in 1954. We have found two editions of this view, the current 1954 edition and an earlier 1940 edition.

Size: Printed area measures 16.75 inches high by 21.75 inches wide.

Condition: Very good. Even overall toning. Blank on verso.



Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment. We are happy to consolidate shipping where possible. The following shipping options are available:
1. FedEx Overnight (45 USD). USA Only. Signature Required.
2. FedEx Ground or Home Delivery (15 USD). USA Only. 1 - 10 days. If your address is a P.O. Box and cannot ship FedEx we will ship USPS Priority and, while we ship promptly, recent postal personnel cutbacks mean that delivery may take time. Signature Required.
3. FedEx International or DHL International EXPRESS (45 USD).
4. We can use your FedEx Account.

Customs: International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.

Insurance: All shipments are insured privately against loss and damage. All of our shipments require a signature for insurance purposes.

If you have any questions please feel free to email us through eBay.
