You only have until March 10th to visit the exhibition "Made in Boston"<\/a> at the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center<\/a> at the Boston Public Library.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"PC2_1693<\/a><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of walking through this collection with Assistant Curator Stephanie Cyr while photographing it for a newspaper feature. She was excited to have this gathering of materials brought together, "…for the first time in decades, a majority of maps made in Boston in the century before the American Revolution."<\/p>\n

  \"41836_29_4_33\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boston Harbor in New England, [Cyprian Southack<\/a>, 1769]<\/p>\n

Before chatting with Stephanie, I had not thought of Boston as a center for map making. But, it was. And, this is your opportunity to see some of the early work of men like John Bonner, William Burgis, and Paul Revere<\/a><\/p>\n

\"PC2_1682<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, as an engraver, Revere was a map maker and two of his views (above) are on display.<\/p>\n

\"PC2_1684<\/a><\/p>\n

As they always do, the Map Center and Library staff have created an interesting, thought provoking, and educational opportunity with this presentation.<\/p>\n
