    Description

    Several years ago, I had an opportunity to purchase the estate of a graphic artist named Arthur Suchy.
    Mr. Suchy was born in Cleveland in 1898 and died in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1995.
    Although he supported himself by his commercial work, he had a personal interest in cartography.
    In his effects, I found examples at least six maps that he designed.
    He had them printed and sold them in local gift shops.
    The copies that did not sell he returned to his home and stored in his studio.
    This map is one of the unsold copies.
    It has been in storage for at least 60 years! For more information on Mr. Suchy, do a Google search using “Suchy, Arthur”
    Modern reproductions of this map are available on Ebay.
    I am offering you an opportunity to purchase one of the original prints from 1928.
    Any collector of Cleveland memorabilia will be interested in this map.
    “The Heart of Cleveland” measures 40” by 26”and is ready to frame.
    It is printed in four colors on medium weight paper.
    Regrettably, it was originally folded and placed in an specially printed envelope.
    As such it needs to be dry-mounted before framing.
    I have had several professionally framed and the results have been outstanding.
    Once completed, one needs to look carefully to see that this map has been folded for over 90 years.
    This map is part of the collection of the Cleveland Public Library, the Cleveland State University Library and the Western Reserve Historical Society.
    Here is an opportunity to own a 90 year old piece of Cleveland history in as-new condition.
    Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
