An original 1927 Art Deco map of Paris by Ilonka Karasz—the influential designer, illustrator, and modernist known for her New Yorker covers and contributions to American decorative arts. This richly detailed pictorial map is a full-color lithograph, featuring stylized architectural motifs and a theatrical red proscenium-style border, reflecting Karasz’s connections to both the Wiener Werkstätte and American design reform.
The map has been mounted to a vintage folding table base, transforming it into a sculptural wall object that merges graphic design, cartographic art, and functional form. This is not a reproduction, but a period-printed lithograph retaining its original surface, with visible wear, edge losses, and patina consistent with age.
A rare and collectible example of early 20th-century design—where modernism intersects with folk and decorative art—this piece is ideal for display as wall art or as part of a larger graphic installation. Karasz’s work from this period is uncommon, especially in this scale and format.
