1923 Stanley Park Vancouver B. C. Key Plan 24x18” print ($40 CAD)
The City of Vancouver Archives visual holdings are incredible, and this is a slightly-retouched reproduction of only one of their many gems. Originally string-bound by a bowtied twine down the centre of the map, I removed it digitally and reconstructed the typography under it. That’s my goal with the Civic Atlas – to fix things that are obviously getting in the way of beautiful and interesting printed matter. If I was an actual historian, that would be a no-no. Thanks to this Vancouverisawesome.com piece for informing me about this map and a few others.
