Description
Be wary of wiping your nose on this lovely handkerchief, lest you soil the lovely Civic Opera Building or the hallowed ground of Wrigley Field!
Issued anonymously in 1930 or 1931, based on the attractions shown and omission of the Century of Progress, the cloth map is a charming representation of Chicago’s civic identity. A mix of industrial, recreational, and cultural landmarks are illustrated and labeled, with further decorative details in the cartouche, compass rose, and inset vignettes.
