First issued that year, the poster proved an immediate sensation, gracing children's walls across America for decades afterward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn near Prague, Hess held a metallurgy degree and served in the French Foreign Legion before wandering through countless trades and settling in Grand Rapids, Michigan as a landscape gardener. His singular vision, by turns tender and faintly eerie, made him a quiet original of American popular culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis splendid reproduction stands as a testament to one immigrant's boundless creativity through adversity and offers a window into the fanciful worlds that delighted generations of youngsters. A fascinating addition to sitting rooms, dens, classrooms, or reading corners, it remains a sought after gem among collectors of vintage Americana.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":67885402652861,"sku":"ENPM0564_0812L","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":67885402685629,"sku":"ENPM0564_1117L","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":67885402718397,"sku":"ENPM0564_1624L","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":67885402751165,"sku":"ENPM0564_2436L","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1sCn-cCxyz9Gx40GD_AdvbPsPwP7L-A8Z_w1000.jpg?v=1792744274","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1935-land-of-make-believe-fantasy-map","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
