JO MORA IS PROBABLY BEST KNOWN for his cartes (maps) of California, Los Angeles, San Diego, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Grace Lines: Ye Olde Spanish Main, Monterey Peninsula, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. Massive undertakings, each provides a treasure trove of history, geography and the culture of each region. In the same category are his historical posters, the 1933 Salinas Rodeo and Evolution of the Cowboy posters, and his Indians of North America poster, which he completed in 1936.
