Jacksonville Zoo – Swampy’s Florida Tuesday Ads.
In the past week I’ve referred online, in Messenger and otherwise to the cartooning on this Jacksonville Zoo brochure, circa 1960. The artwork is not signed and it’s likely the artwork is gone to history. So very much of the artwork made for advertising is posted with no signature and the artist involved is never to be known. Worse, rarely is the artwork kept and that, too, is gone. That is mostly the fate of artwork seen in commercial products. Here and gone.
The artwork for the Zoo includes artwork on another part of teh brochure and a full map. That map took some work!
About the zoo: It’s still with us! The place initially opened in 1914 and relocated to where it is today in the midst of the Boom in 1925.

This brochure is not part of teh Swampy’s Florida collection and was found on EBay.
