Map and facts about the Nelson brothers' imaginary world

Item Information

Title:
Map and facts about the Nelson brothers' imaginary world
Description:
An unattributed and seemingly unfinished piece about the four continents that comprise the Nelson brothers' imaginary world, composed on a sheet of paper originally folded in half. A map on the exterior shows the eastern hemisphere including Long Continent, Round Continent and Forest Continent. The item may be the beginnings of a primer as the text on the inside appears to be a brief lesson regarding the geography of this world. The text and a small map on the inside include mention of Big Continent as well.
