| dc.description | Scale approximately 1:19,500. 1 map : color ; 68 x 89 cm. Depicts sights and activities around Honolulu and the islands. Alexander Samuel MacLeod was a painter and printmaker. He was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada. After moving to San Francisco, he continued his artistic training at the California School of Design under Frank Van Sloun. In 1921, MacLeod arrived in Hawaii, where he worked in the art departments of the magazine <em>Paradise of the Pacific</em> and the local papers, The <em>Honolulu Advertiser</em> and the <em>Honolulu Star-Bulletin</em>. By 1929, he had returned to Canada and resided there for ten years. Again in Hawaii, MacLeod became the director of the graphic art department for the United States Army in the Pacific. In 1943, he published a book of his Hawaiian prints, <em>The Spirit of Hawaii: Before and After Pearl Harbor</em>. MacLeod retired to Palo Alto, California, where he died in 1956. Scenes are amazing vignettes and insets of life in Honolulu. An inset piece in center has written: "In this map you will find depicted in pictorial fashion the history, landmarks & customs of these colorful isles. A map of Honolulu and the Sandwich Islands which we know call the Hawaiian Islands." (Source: David Rumsey Historical Map Collection) | |
