Abraham H. Goodman was the Chief Designer at W.S. Tyler Co., and specialized in ornamental bronze work, which was featured in several buildings all around the United States, including Cleveland's Terminal Tower. He was noted for his unique and lavish elevator fronts, many of the designs of which are included in this collection. Also included are photographs, correspondence, memos, records, illustrations, and other graphic materials and 3D objects, created and collected by both him and his granddaughter, Amy Goodhart.
These maps are exceedingly decorative, and careful examination of any one of them will disclose curious little figures, scenes or other decoration. The specimen herewith, is one of these original engravings, with nice old coloring.
