PICKING THE PERFECT MAP

Finding the best map to depict the FInger Lakes region was not a simple task. The 24' wide wall needed something that added visual interest to the space without dominating it. We eventually selected a map that was printed just a decade or so before the wine industry began here in the region, circa 1845. Special thanks to Boris Michev at Cornell's Olin Library for playing an important role in allowing Jon Reis to photograph the vintage piece.
