The Land of Make Believe (1930) by Jaro Hess is a fantastical illustrated map that gathers dozens of nursery-rhyme and fairy-tale characters into one sprawling, dreamlike landscape. Executed in bright gouache with crisp outlining, the composition winds through mountains, castles, enchanted forests, and whimsical paths that invite playful exploration. Its style blends storybook charm with cartographic structure, creating a visual catalog of childhood lore. The work became widely loved for its imaginative density and theatrical color.
Jaro Hess (1889–1979) was a Czech-American artist and inventor whose whimsical paintings and maps gained popularity during the 1930s. Self-trained and eclectic in style, he favored imaginative subjects, bold palettes, and intricate compositions. Though he worked in several fields, his fairy-tale cartographies remain his most enduring contribution, valued for their blend of fantasy, narrative clarity, and nostalgic appeal. Hess’s work continues to resonate with collectors of vintage storybook illustration.
