Description
San Diego Zoo pamphlet and mailing envelope, both printed with a San Diego Zoo map. Pamphlet includes original musical composition, poems, photographs, dedicated space for writing messages, and civic pride-inducing text describing the San Diego Zoo during the depression as 'a remarkable institution combining science, culture, pleasure and beauty....' It also describes how the Zoo flourished under director Belle Benchley, the only female director of a Zoo in the world, and how Zoo staff persevered through the depression by increasing duties and decreasing wages. It includes the Star of India, then property of the Zoo, and planned as part of an aquarium / maritime museum. There is a small map of the downtown San Diego and Balboa Park including street car lines, since removed. The back and front cover and envelope color map illustration is by Stanley de Treville, a San Diego artist, painter, photographer, illustrator and San Diego History Center taxidermist. Author Emma Lindsay-Squier was a nature and travel writer who lived much of her time in California and was also well acquainted with Mexico. She was a member of the San Diego Players and met her second husband, actor, film producer and project photographer John Bransby, in San Diego.
