There is a 5th one in the series that shows the entire Hawaiian Island chain. I did use that one in "Waikiki Tiki; Art, History, and Photographs." Ruth was quite prolific and made many cartographs of other states as well. She had a decent career in Hollywood during the silent and early talkie era. She appeared in the 1928 silent version of "Gentlemen perfer Blondes."

The fifth one was used in a 1930s Childrens Atlas.

I know this because I have just had the page framed for my bar (and the rear side had info on one of the US States on the reverse)

It also has Samoa on the same page...
