About 10 or 12 years ago, my Brother Dave, my Brandi & I bought a print of an old map of Williamsburg off of E-Bay. Its about 3' by about 3 1/2' roughly and was done in 1906. We got Brandi's brother to make a few copies. This one is extremely high quality. All these years later we finally decided to get it professionally mounted & framed. The wooden frame has worm holes and the border is a burnt red/wine color to go with the sepia tone of the map. It turned out quite stunningly. The guys at the Film Centers Custom Frame shop in Altoona did an unbelivable job.
In the late 1800's, ealy 1900's, several famous traveling artists would travel the county making these 3/4 birds eye view Map/Drawings of towns and cities all over the country and then when finished they would sell them to the boro or city & citizens ect. and then move on to the next town. Another lost artform to the age of technology.
