Tropical Trips in 1949

The 1949 Tropical Trips booklet has its name on both the front and back covers. While the front cover has flamingoes (which were also on the back cover of yesterday’s 1948 booklet), the back cover features flamingoes in the water and two Southern Belles sitting in the nearby grass.

Inside, the 1948 and 1949 booklets share the same design but with some text updates and some new photos. The centerfold of both books is a map of Florida in eye-watering red (for land), blue (for water), and yellow (for the rail lines), with only a tiny bit of white (for steamship and Pan American Airline routes to Nassau, Caribbean islands, and South America).
