Beautiful, antique map of the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. This is an authentic map (Plate #21) taken from G.W. Bromley's "Atlas of the City of Boston, Boston Proper & Back Bay" published in 1908 & is NOT a computer reproduction. See what Boston looked like more than 110 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details & contours, including main streets, rivers, gardens, squares, houses & the names of property owners at the time. Hand colored. Verso is blank. Backed by sturdy canvas. Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
