Biggest Maps of

Photographic Art
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
Two unique maps of the United
States will be used at the coming
White House conference on natur-
al resources. They are perhaps
the largest detailed maps of this
country made by mechanical pro-
cess. Each map, without it's frame,
measures II feet in height and Is
feet in length.
The maps will be framed and
set up in the east room at the
White House, on either side of the
platform to be used by the presid-
ing officer and the speakers.
These maps, which are now being
completed by the forest service,
represent the labor of Is men. The
time required in the manufacture
of each was six days and four
nights, the craftsmen working in
three shifts in order to complete
the work in time for the big White
House meeting.
The method of manufacture was
very unusual. The reproduction
was done by photography. The reg
ular forest service map, which
measures five feet by seven, was
divided into 16 sections, and a
photograph was made of each of
these sections. Each negative
measured IL by IA inches, and
from each was made, by the bro
mide process. an enlarged print
measuring about three by four
feet. OF these prints there were
16; which were assembled and
mounted upon strong linen. Three
men were required to handle each
sheet, and 1t proved difficult task
to accurately match the sections.
