A 1955 cartographic rendering of Austin, Texas presents the urban core in dusty rose and mauve against a pale background, with surrounding countryside rendered in muted greens and pale yellows. The winding Colorado River curves through the composition in soft blue, creating a natural boundary between the densely mapped city streets and the rural landscape beyond, rendered in the precise, delicate linework characteristic of mid-century survey maps. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
