“City of North Bay” print by J. C. F. (1950)

If you lived in North Bay between the 1910s and 1980s you are probably familiar with local landmark bookshop Fosdick's at 150 Main St. West. This spartan map was a promotional tool for Fosdick's, printed by Wilson's Paints & Prints at 344 Algonquin Avenue and drawn by a very competent "J. C. F." The map includes a 100-or-so strong street index at bottom and shows modern-day Delaney Lake by its original name: Mud Lake.

A reproduction available at 16x12" or 24x18" on Epson Enhanced Matte 192 gsm paper printed with Epson UltraChrome XD2 archival ink. Sold in an open edition, unframed. Restored from this digital file found in the City of Toronto Archives.
