Description
A reproduction of a bird's eye view map of CANOBIE LAKE PARK, Salem, New Hampshire 1912. Bird's-eye views appear as something between a panoramic view & a map, as though they were drawn by the artist while he was suspended in a hot-air balloon. in fact, they were drawn by hand using, most often, two-point perspective to produce a three-dimensional rendering. The city views are surprisingly accurate & represent a much neglected source for understanding the history of an area. ARCHIVAL INKS ON HEAVY MATTE FINE ART PAPER Framed maps include drymounting, UV filtering glass, & your choice of three mouldings, wired & ready to hang upon delivery. This map has been scanned From The ORIGINAL at 600 dpi using state of the art equipment {a Contex Large Format Scanner}. The replica map is printed on heavy matte fine art paper using archival pigment inks. This is one of over 5000 Original maps, charts & posters in our collection.
