  • (MA. - Boston) The City Of Boston - Birthplace Of American Freedom, John Roman, 1990
    It's an interesting promotional map that weaves together advertising for the "Souper Salad Express" on Newbury St., with historical notations like "The First Library In America Was In Boston In 1653". But this is the work of Massachusetts native, John Roman doing a promotional map for the great city of Boston. There's plenty of architectural detail for buildings, while still keeping a playful distorted take on the dense city that gives the viewer a lot to review. Historical notations abound, along with notations for colleges, institutions, and businesses. Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 23.5 x 32.25 (inches)
