Description
A detailed cartographic rendering of Louisville, Kentucky stretches across cream-colored paper with fine linear networks of streets, blocks, and geographical features rendered in black ink. The composition captures the city's layout as it existed in 1873, with a compass rose marking cardinal directions and notations indicating key landmarks, all executed in the precise, utilitarian style characteristic of 19th-century survey maps. At home in a study, office, or anywhere history and geography inspire conversation. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
