Description
Wonderful pictorial view of Berkeley, CA, designed to promote local businesses and the city itself. It is filled with inside references and historical information, including the Costanoan Indian Shell Mounds, the Lawerence Hall of Science, or many other quirky aspects that make Berkeley a place like no other.
Whether you went to the University of California, celebrated your anniversary with dinner at Chez Panisse, have marveled at the Claremont Hotel, or your dad used to take you on weekends to Golden Gate Fields (personal experience), enjoy this look at Berkeley from over 30 years ago.
Cartographer(s):
“City Designs” was not a single cartographer but a small California graphic-arts studio active primarily in the 1980s–1990s, best known for producing whimsical, advertisement-supported pictorial maps of Bay Area communities. Because these maps were created as local commercial art rather than through a traditional cartographic publisher, very little formal documentation survives, and the firm is largely absent from major bibliographies and map-trade reference works.
Condition Description
Very good.
