Tripp, B. Ashburton, 1887-1955
Note
A hand drawn and colored pictorial map of Panama, one of Tripp's most elaborate and beautiful maps - for some reason, he never published this map, although he offered it for sale in 1931 at the annual May Show at the Cleveland Museum of Art, along with all rights of publication. Tripp had a special interest in Panama and his wife, Gertrude Koehne Tripp was a former school teacher in the Canal Zone. The map has many views of important places in Panama, portraits of explorers, and a ring of figures that are described as zoomorphic images of the Chiriqui Indian Deities, surrounding the map of the country.
