This pictorial map illustrates a March 1933 article about the operations of the United Fruit Company, from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of the U.S. to Columbia and Venezuela. The pervasive yellow symbols of the Company's banana and sugar plantations dominate the map, and the vessels of its Elders & Fyffes fleet fill the seas. Whales, sharks, mermaids, monkeys and other images complete a picture of fun - and profit. 14 sites on the map are numbered, and the text verso (ID #2136.02) provides details about the significance of each, along with an index to the extensive article.
