About the Item
Geographical Pictures of the USA – Set VII by A. Wheaton & Co., ca. 1929
A complete set of educational pictorial cards titled Geographical Pictures – Set VII: The United States of America, published around 1929 by A. Wheaton & Co., Exeter, England. This charming series was part of an early 20th-century British educational project aimed at introducing schoolchildren to the cultures and landscapes of various nations through vivid imagery and accessible commentary.
The set includes a collection of printed illustrations mounted on cards or sheets (depending on edition), each depicting notable scenes, landmarks, or cultural aspects of the United States. The style is highly characteristic of the 1920s–30s, blending an educational tone with artistic flair. Views often include iconic American subjects such as New York’s skyline, rural farming life, Native American scenes, or industrial and natural landmarks like the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls.
The cards were likely used in classrooms for geography lessons, offering students visual aids to complement their studies. The publisher, A. Wheaton & Co. of Exeter, was known for its high-quality educational materials and published similar sets covering various countries and regions.
This set is an appealing collectible for those interested in interwar educational materials, early 20th-century visual culture, or Americana from a European perspective. It also serves as a decorative and nostalgic historical reference to how the United States was perceived and taught abroad during that period.
Condition: Very good overall. Slight age toning, minor edge wear. All prints intact and well preserved for their age.
Framing tips: These prints work well in simple dark wood or black frames with white or cream mounts. A gallery wall of multiple scenes creates an appealing vintage display.
Technique: Printed illustrations
Maker: A. Wheaton & Co., Exeter, ca. 1929
