Endpaper maps

Even if you can read a book online - or download it - you don't get to see the coloured cover every time you go back to your reading, nor do you get that most wonderful feature of some books, the maps front and back. This one (I love the writing in the sea, and the flying figures) is by Rockwell Kent, in the 1920s - Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska - a memoir of painting and exploring with his son.

See other endpaper maps here and here.
