Description
A vibrant and whimsical pictorial map of Rochester, New York, celebrating its landmarks, architecture, and cultural life. A radiant sun and playful border design frame the composition. Dominated by bold illustrations of skyscrapers, local businesses and civic buildings, the map playfully integrates visual references to Rochester’s industrial and cultural heritage.
It is captioned “The Picture City,” a nod to Rochester’s central role in the photography industry through Eastman Kodak. George Eastman founded The Eastman Dry Plate Company in 1881, which became Eastman Kodak in 1888, and was Rochester's largest employer for much of the 20th century.
