Here is a grab bag of maps I enjoy. I don't have much insight or commentary to add-let's just appreciate them!

Melbourne Trams to the Beaches -Vernon Jones, 1930
available at the Transit Maps store |
Vernon Jones was a printmaker who apparently did some work for the government of Victoria, Australia. I have not been able to find much information about him online the maps are truly a work of art. He used some really nice text styles too. Here is a detail from Trams to the Racecources, River and Zoo.

New Jersey Lighthouses.
While on vacation at the Jersey Shore last year I took a picture of this map, hanging inside the Cape May Lighthouse.
Automobile Routes to Atlantic City sponsored by the Rudolf Hotel. I lost the original source of this one.

Walkway Over the Hudson - drawn by Maria Rabinky illustrating the bike/pedestrian rail trail bridge over the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York.
The hand drawn cliffs are a really nice touch. Here's the whole map, complete with mountains and biplanes.More to come....
