ARTIST STATEMENT

Our path to presenting this edition is a love story in its own right. Our fearless founder Jen Bekman came across the map and its terrain a l’amour and was instantly smitten. Impulsively (as one often is concerning affairs of the heart) she posted it to her Tumblr. For many, it was clearly love at first sight: Jen’s post was “liked” (loved?!) by hundreds. Even The Atlantic ran a piece on the map the following day. The moral to the story? Looking for art is like looking for love—when you see the one you want, you’ve got to go for it with every bit of your soul.

The original lithograph was produced by D.W. Kellogg & Co., sometime between 1833 and 1842 in Hartford, Connecticut. We tracked it down at the American Antiquarian Society, and are charmed to present it to you as a 20x200 vintage edition, to benefit our Artists’ Fund.
