USA, 1948

Artist Henrietta Lintner prepared a water color map with the aid of Fairchild Air Views. This map is a Brentano's Book Store color lithograph of Lintner's watercolor. Brentano's sold these lithograph maps in 1948. The bird's eyeview of D.C. points out significant land marks such as the Tidal Basin, The Ellipse, the Reflective Pool and The Central Business District. The map has quotes-- in calligraphy-- by architect Daniel Burnham which surround the map on all four sides. There is a legend on left side of Federal Buildings and a legend on the right side of national and international organizations. The bird's eye view map is idyllic in its rendering of the nation's capital. Framed map is in excellent original condition.
