Whether Queens is your hometown, heritage, or simply a borough that holds your heart, this illustrated vintage map brings its legacy to life on your wall.
Drawn in warm, parchment-like tones, the poster features over 600 meticulously researched hand-drawn icons—landmarks, institutions, historic homes, places of worship, cultural gems, and everyday treasures.
