The Ideal City

An interesting and humorous depiction of an "Ideal City," designed by the British illustrator Ronald Lampitt to accompany a piece by John Pudney which appeared in the 17 February 1951 issue of Illustrated Magazine. This imagined city borrows features from several metropolises while leaving out their negative parts. What results is a hodgepodge of architectural styles The Acropolis sits on a hill outside of the city, and other prominent landmarks include King's College Cambridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Piazza Della Signoria in Florence. Closer to the coast, at least three different downtowns are visible, modeled after New York City, the old town of Antibes, and colonial towns in the Carolinas.
