This is an outstanding c. 1930 large-format art deco chromolithograph pictorial map of Berkeley, Oakland, and Alamada County, California. The map was issued by the Berkeley artists Michael A. Baltekal-Goodman and Eugene (Eugen) Neuhaus, both then at U.C. Berkeley. Coverage extends from the San Francisco Bay to the Berkeley Hills. The artists have employed a bold color scheme that contracts the blue of San Francisco Bay with the orange and white Berkeley-Oakland street grid. Pictorial elements include vignette illustrations of significant buildings and other attractions. In the hills to the northeast, the focus is more on cultural references, natural beautify, and wildlife. The map features a decorative border with numerous vignettes illustrating historical events, ranging from an 1874 temperance protest to dueling. (more details)
