Lovely Bird’s-Eye View of Cape Cod & the Islands
[Malden, MA, 1958]



Cape Cod/ Nantucket/ Martha’s Vineyard.  MACDONALD, John Ross [Malden: dated 1958]  Cape Cod And The Islands.  16 ½ x 21 ¼ inches.  Original color print. Excellent condition.                                                                                                                                                            


A very well-executed, richly colored, bird’s-eye view of the Cape and the Islands.  It shows the major roads as if superimposed on a nice rendering of area’s distinctive topography, marked by extensive wetlands and numerous kettle ponds.  The area’s many beaches are named along with other landmarks.  Various nautical craft are depicted, including, tongue-in-cheek, the Mayflower off of Provincetown.  The work is a self-published print of a painting by John Ross MacDonald (b. 1922), a local commercial artist; this is best known work.
