tkdguy Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I found this map looking on another forum. Maybe someone can find it useful. It's fun to look at, in any case. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Re: 1927 Cartoon Map of San Francisco Nice! There was a sort of trend of doing maps like that for cities during the Twenties and Thirties; I see them occasionally as I troll around looking for maps for my collection. Usually the seller slaps the label "Art Deco" on them and jacks the price up by 200% or more because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Re: 1927 Cartoon Map of San Francisco I'd like to see more maps drawn in this style. The website also includes a map of Chinatown in 1887, but not in a cartoon style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlHazred Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Re: 1927 Cartoon Map of San Francisco Another style of map popular at the time was the panorama map. Kind of a like a pre-computer version of Google Earth, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
