Vibrant Pictorial Map of Cape Cod

TOWN CRIER SHOP. [Provincetown, 1930]

Cape Cod. TOWN CRIER SHOP.  A Map of Cape Cod. [Provincetown: Dated: 1930]  Original color print. 11 3/8 x 13 1/2 inches on sheet size 12 x 14 inches.  Excellent condition.                 

A lively, richly detailed map of Cape Cod in a style reminiscent of WPA wood-engravings; at the time, many Provincetown artists worked in this medium.  The print offers a substantial mixture of historical and recreational information.  In all, a surprisingly rich portrait of the Cape.

The Town Crier Shop was a fixture on Provincetown’s Commercial Street for over three decades from c. 1930 to c. 1966, purveying a wide variety of goods to the tourist trade.
