ITMB expands its coverage of the USA with a detailed map of New York State & New England on a double-sided map at a very detailed scale. The one side covers most of the state & the southern portion of the New England states, along with an inset map of the greater NYC area, the other side covers from Boston & Cape cod to the northern extremes of Maine & west into Vermont, with inset maps of Boston & Boston Region. The reality of mapping the USA is that it is too large a country & too populous to be mapped in detail except by regions. As a sophisticated economy, it has thousands of towns & an intensive road/rail network. Most American mapping companies took the easy route & mapped one state at a time. As some states are relatively small, this resulted in a visitor needing to acquire dozens of maps to cover the extent of their visit. This map is a giant step forward in providing sensible mapping for a great country to visit. ...

New York Rises

From 1906 to 1934, Eugene de Salignac shot over twenty thousand 8-by-10-inch glass-plate negatives of New York City. As sole photographer at the Department of Bridges/Plant and Structures during that period of dizzying growth, he documented the creation of the city`s modern infrastructure bridges, major municipal buildings, roads, and subways. For years, these remarkably lyrical photographs have been used in books and films, but never credited to de Salignac. ”New York Rises” is the first monograph to present them as an aesthetically coherent oeuvre by a photographer with a unique vision. As meticulous in his record keeping as he was creative in his photography, de Salignac left five handwritten logs that identify each negative by place and exact date. This information is
complemented throughout the book by narrative captions expanding on themes such as accidents, bridges, workers, and the Depression. Michael Lorenzini has unearthed primary sources to reconstruct de Salignac`s biography. Kevin Moore explores his work in the context of other photographers of the period, including Eugene Atget and Berenice Abbott.
