Map of New Haven Connecticut - 1928
This 1928 map of New Haven shows the streets, parks, waterways and major buildings of the city. Red and yellow banners present notes on historical events and milestones in New Haven history. A map shows the center of the city as it was in 1748. Many of the illustrations are related to the Yale University campus, such as an inset map of the oldest portion of the campus, as well as the University seal and a numbered key to Yale buildings. The illustrations, done in a simple black outline with flat areas of color, include some playful touches such as sea monsters in the rivers, also a compass rose surmounted by a winged hourglass, and the map title flanked by the New Haven landmarks, East Rock and West Rock.
Our Map Reproductions are handmade in our Los Angeles studio using heavyweight 23 mil Epson Exhibition Satin Canvas. This elegantly textured canvas features a semi-gloss satin surface that is enhanced with protective elastic polymers. Decorative wood is assembled on the top and bottom, with two eye-hooks mounted on the top piece. We also supply a jute rope twine that can be attached between the two eye-hooks to complete the vintage feel of a roll down canvas scroll.
