Description: Map. Colored Lithograph. Measures 13.25" x 19.25".
Comments: This unique 1946 map of Chicago identifies the Chicago Jazz Spots from 1914 to 1928. Throughout, beautiful sketches depict famous landmarks and jazz scenes. Streets are identified and locations of jazz spots are noted. Two insets detail the establishments on 31st and State and 35th and State. The map, redrawn from the original by Paul Eduard Miller and Richard M. Jones appeared in the 1946 edition of "Esquire's Jazz Book Year Book of the Jazz Scene". The year book was an amazing period publication of jazz in its heyday, featuring photographs, articles, and more. Some of the articles that were included in the 1946 edition, along with this particular map, were "Thirty Years of Chicago Jazz", "Chicago Jazz History", "Esquire's All-American Band", etc. The Map is in good condition with some foxing and edge wear near centerfold. Linen backed.
