Boston: A Map Showing Institutions and Sites of Historic Interest by Veronica Ruzicka
Here’s a handsome map by Veronica Ruzicka, daughter of Rudolph and an acclaimed maker of paste papers and maps. In fact, she studied military map making and photogrammetry at Columbia and was then employed for several years as a map maker in New York City. But this a map of Boston, not New York. She lived here, too. Anyway, although some of specifics are no longer up-to-date, much of it is still accurate because this city hardly changes. A lovely and useful thing and a fine example of how to convey complicated and messy information with just some lines.
