About this Item

Any collector of Cleveland memorabilia will be interested in this ready-to-frame pictorial map. This map is new old stock. It is not a reproduction or a modern copy. This nearly ninety-year-old map provides a unique view of the city and is in mint condition. A number of years ago I had an opportunity to purchase the estate of a northern Ohio artist named Arthur Suchy. Mr. Suchy was born in Cleveland in 1899 and died in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1995. Although he supported himself as a graphic designer, he had a personal interest in cartography. In his effects, I found examples of at least six maps that he designed. He had them printed and sold them in local gift shops. The copies that did not sell he returned to his home and stored in his studio. This map is one of the unsold copies. It has been in storage for over 60 years and is in fine condition. The map measures 17" by 20" and is printed in brown ink on medium weight paper. It depicts the center of Cleveland and Ohio City in 1836. The map was drawn by Mr. Suchy in the 1930s and is copyrighted 1937. Seller Inventory # 001155
