Tripp, B. Ashburton, 1887-1955
Note
Detailed hand colored pictorial map showing the Island of Martha's Vineyard in center. Relief shown pictorially. Includes towns, roads, lighthouses, forests and waterways. Surrounded by sketches of naval boats and fantasy portraits of the four winds in each corner. Vignettes bordering the map showing maritime scenes in each corner, churches and lighthouses. An inscription borders the entire scene. Inscription along bottom margin reads, ""This is the goodliest land we ever saw for it is replenished with fair fields and in them fragrant flowers."" Inscription along side and top margins reads, "We stood awhile like men ravished at the beautie and delicacie of the sweet soile; for besides rivers clear lakes of fresh water we saw meadows very large and hedged with stately groves - There was such an incredible store of vines we could not go for treading on them.' The Voyage of Bartholomew Gosnold - 1602." Signed and dated in ink at the bottom right, B. Ashburton Tripp, '54. Tripp died the next year, 1955, so we presume this was his last map.
