“Madison Men of Affairs As We See ‘Em”

I focused on real estate, surveyors, and the map-iest images that I could find. This format is different from the other boosterish “as we seem ’em” books – photo and drawing collage. These books are so goofy and such rich sources. A friend noted how many (current) street and neighborhood names are featured in these (historical) vanity pieces.

This is part of a series of “as we see ’em” images that I found doing research about a decade ago that I have Thoughts on, but will leave here as a placeholder & for other interested parties.
