“Christopher Columbus First European to Learn About "Rubber"”

A whimsical deep dive into the history of rubber, this 1970 freebie from B. F. Goodrich presents a fictionalized take on Christopher Columbus’s supposed discovery of rubber, framed as the first European to learn about it. With all art and writing credited to Johnstone & Cushing, the story blends educational detail with playful storytelling, tracing the journey of rubber from its origins to its global cultivation in Ceylon and Southeast Asia. The cover, also by Johnstone & Cushing, complements the theme with a vintage, illustrative flair.
