Canastota NY Panoramic Map 1885 This map is a reproduction of an original bird's-eye view of the city of Canastota, New York originally drawn by L.R. Burleigh in 1885. Measuring 23" x 14", this large-scale historical image is printed on very heavyweight satin paper and displays like a work of art. This map is most suitable for framing, is a wonderful vision of this city as it used to be, and would make a perfect gift for yourself, family, friends and colleagues. Original panoramic maps were also known as perspective maps, aero views, and bird's-eye views. The artists portrayed the cities as if seen from an imaginary viewpoint high in the air. These views often depict important landmarks, streets, buildings and major landscape features with amazing accuracy, and can be quite useful for genealogy research. Original maps existing today were often folded or separated by institutions for ease of storage. The original maps did not have any folds, separations or vertical lines in them. These imperfections, as well as other problems on the old originals such as fading, stains, tears, library stamps and other blemishes were unintended by the artist/lithographer. To correct these problems, every panoramic map reproduction we offer has been professionally restored by specialists who remove the defects and adjust the colors of the images read more
