Item Details
Description
GEORGE ANNAND (1890-1980) THE WALDORF ASTORIA / A CHART OF MANHATTAN. 1936.
9x22½ inches, 22¾x57 cm.
Condition A: unobtrusive vertical folds, as issued.
Annand worked as a "freelance commercial artist for much of his long career, [he] created pictorial maps, designed dust jackets, illustrated books and magazines, and turned out advertisements. Through much of his work Annand showed a genuine interest in cartography . . . [and the maps he designed] were among the most refined and dignified examples of the genre, well designed and boldly colored" (Picturing America pp 34-38). "This pocket-sized, foldout map produced for the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel shows principle sights, shopping districts, churches, and clubs. Annand liked to use orange as the base color in his maps, an unusual though striking choice" (ibid p. 128). Picturing America pl. 53.
