Description
A detailed street grid of Chicago from 1893 spreads across aged cream paper with fine brown lines mapping the city's neighborhoods and Lake Michigan's shoreline in soft blue. The composition balances the densely crosshatched urban streets on the left with the calm expanse of water on the right, creating a sense of the city's geographic relationship to the lake. At home in a study, office, or living room celebrating urban history and cartography. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
