[Pictorial Maps of London and Paris]

Promoting the pictorial cartography of the 20th century in the next millennium.

This lovely selection of pictorial city plans (two of Paris, one of London) reflects the continuous popular demand for the 20th-century style that well captures the allure of Europe’s most popular cities. The works of L.G. Bullock, the Paris Metro, and Le Bourget are carried into the 21st century. The vibrant color maps were printed in Korea on Italian paper. Published between 2002 and 2008 by San Francisco-based Cavallini Papers & Co., Inc. from its website:

“Since 1989 Cavallini has been producing the highest quality of gift and stationery products, drawing inspiration from the Cavallini archives. From 16th century botanical plates and herbarium to early astronomical charts and travel guides, the collection spans hundreds of years and preserves a vast array of both everyday ephemera and rare, iconic images. Cavallini was first established to bring traditional Italian art calendars to a new audience. Over the years, Cavallini’s range has grown to include a variety of innovative paper products in addition to our calendars, which remain a perennial favorite. Today, Cavallini is sourced by museums, gift shops, bookstores, and other retailers of our products worldwide.”
