DescriptionThis is a lithograph of a mural painting of the South Pacific region. The map shows the Asian continent in the upper left corner, with the Australian continent near the lower left corner. North and South America are depicted on the right side of the page. Each continent is covered with illustrations of the types of art forms made in each region. In the lower left corner, there is a piece of stone made to look like words have been carved into it saying, "ART FORMS OF THE/PACIFIC AREA." There is a red hand print and a carved eye on the stone as well. Below this, in small, blue text, it says, "COVARRUBIAS." In the lower left, outside the illustration, it says, "Copyright Nineteen Hundred Forty by San Francisco Bay Exposition Company." At the bottom center, outside the illustration, it says, "PLATE III: PAGEANT OF THE PACIFIC: MIGUEL COVARRUBIAS/Published by Pacific House, San Francisco, California." In the lower right, outside the illustration, it says, "Lithographed in the U.S.A. by H.S. Crocker Company, Inc. and Schwabacher-Frey Company."
