Vintage 1963 New York City pictorial map scarf by Hermann Bollmann.
Bollmann is famed for his axonometric “bird’s-eye” map of NYC (prepared for the 1964 World’s Fair) and related 1962–63 views. This scarf features that intricate city panorama with landmarks rendered in remarkable detail—an iconic mid-century NYC souvenir and a striking wearable / display textile.
