This delightful pictorial cartoon map of Nassau and Paradise Island in The Bahamas was created by the Canadian artist Barbara Spurll and issued by the Nassau and Paradise Island Promotional Board in 1982.  Close examination reveals meticulous detail of Nassau and Paradise Island as they existed in the early 1980s all rendered in a pleasing and whimsical style that aptly celebrates this lively and fun filled travel destination.  The lower edge of the poster indicates a 1982 copyright and gives illustration and design credits to Barbara Spurll and Quill Studios of Ontario of Ontario, Canada.    

This poster has been professionally backed to linen with some touch as needed including mitigation to creases and repair to a few short tears on the edges.  The poster showed some foxing on the borders which was mitigated during the linen backing process and still shows lightly in places.  Overall condition is very good for this vintage original.
