{"product_id":"fortune-illustration-4","title":"New Jersey Public Service Map","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable infographic map from Fortune magazine presents New Jersey through the eyes of Public Service Corporation, the utility behemoth that controlled electricity, gas, and transportation for nearly four million residents in the early 1930s. What makes this piece extraordinary is its sardonic self-awareness: annotations mock the 'feudal Keans' who blocked expansion, dismiss the Pine Barrens as too backward for service, and note wealthy enclaves that remained 'out of bounds' for the company's reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bold color coding transforms a corporate service map into a vivid portrait of monopoly power, with the densely served corridor between New York and Philadelphia rendered in overlapping reds, blues, and greens. Power lines radiate outward from the industrial core like a corporate nervous system. Created during the height of New Deal debates over public versus private utilities, this map captures a moment when such corporate dominance was both celebrated and questioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of vintage cartography, New Jersey ephemera, or Depression-era business graphics, this Fortune illustration bridges corporate propaganda with editorial wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5\" x 11.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Text on Verso.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44788962623603,"sku":"IL7377","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/2026-04-16-11-38-19-01.jpg?v=1776377935","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/products\/fortune-illustration-4","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
