Frank McCaffrey's Map of Seattle
Seattle: Frank McCaffrey, 1931. First edition. Color pictorial map, 22x30" on board and in contemporary (studio?) frame of painted green metal. Darkened, stained, and worn around edges, single tear to bottom edge extending into the printed border. Few scuffs to the image, but generally good to very good.
Nice example of Seattle fine printer, Frank McCaffrey's pictorial map of the city. This map was illustrated by Alf Restad and published the year McCaffrey founded his Dogwood Press. He would issue a "New Dogwood Map" in 1934 and again in 1936.
The image is beautifully colored and printed, and is oriented with East at the top. All the major icons of the city are depicted, and there are charming, and occasionally stereotypical of the time, characters highlighting various neighborhoods and attractions.
