Sanborn Insurance Maps were used by insurers throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries to help assess fire liability, and while there are valuable in a utilitarian sense, they are also beautiful; instantly recognizable for their distinctively detailed and beautifully ornate lettering on their title pages.
Created from portions of a 1908 Sanborn map of Houghton, MI, this art print has been edited and remastered to showcase the beauty and history of a bygone era in a way that still captivates and inspires for today.
