The Christopher Estes City Blueprints bring a new perspective to city mapping. Using the classic blue and white color scheme that blueprints are known for, Estes accurately represents major cities and highlights various points of interest on each print.
The striking simplicity of a blueprint makes this project stand out from the busy and often distracting colors found on an average map. Blueprints are usually associated with building houses, so having the blueprint of the city you live in on your wall makes that city feel like it’s your home. The ever-expanding collection features several major US cities including Atlanta, Chicago and Minneapolis, as well as global cities including Barcelona, Berlin and Toronto.
