Greeville Avenue Dallas Texas Pictorial Map

DESCRIPTION: This illustrated pictorial promotional poster map titled “Greenville Avenue: A Landmark Adventure – Dallas, Texas” depicts the full commercial corridor of Greenville Avenue using dense line-art drawings of individual businesses, landmarks, and street features. Drawn by Jack B. Weidner. Copyright Landmark Adventures, 1992-1993.

The artwork organizes the avenue vertically, with north at the top, and identifies a large number of local establishments including restaurants, bars, boutiques, clubs, real-estate offices, and service businesses. Notable sites shown include the Doubletree Hotel, Old Town Shopping Center, Ada Art Gallery, Rollins, Corinthian Sailing Club, Pepe’s & Mito’s, The Diner, John’s Café, Flip’s, Nick’s Café, and many others. Corporate sponsors such as the Dallas Cowboys, Pepsi, Coors, RE/MAX, American Airlines, 94.5 The Edge, and Landmark Adventures appear within the composition, indicating commercial support at the time of publication. The map also includes playful vignettes—cars, pedestrians, musicians, hot-air balloons, aircraft, and neighborhood scenes—presented in a visually busy style meant to capture the character of the district.

Directional labels (Deep Ellum, McKinney Avenue), street names (Ross Avenue), and inset business directories help orient the viewer, while the border incorporates a decorative pattern consistent with late-20th-century pictorial map design. The poster functions as both a promotional guide and a snapshot of Greenville Avenue’s retail environment at the time it was created, documenting a concentration of independent businesses alongside well-known local institutions. As ephemera, it records the commercial identity of one of Dallas’s most recognizable streets and provides a detailed reference to storefronts and neighborhood culture that may no longer exist in the same form today.

Details	1970	Hip-Products	Mid-Century-Pop-Art-Peace-Poster-One-Peace-Missing	Vividly designed in the bold graphic style of the late 1960s, this unrecorded original black light poster features a stylized Earth composed of interlocking puzzle pieces, with one section shaped like a dove removed from the globe. The missing “piece” appears above, transformed into a green dove bearing a black peace symbol, carrying a cartoon-like figure in a space helmet. At lower right, the caption reads in block lettering: “THE WORLD IS A PUZZLE WITH ONE PEACE MISSING.” <br><br> This imaginative image reflects the optimism and visual wit of the 1960s counterculture art scene, combining Pop-Art color, psychedelic simplicity, and the peace iconography that became synonymous with the era’s anti-war movement. The use of flat, saturated color fields—blue, green, and brown—echoes mid-century silkscreen printing aesthetics. <br><br> Likely issued in the late 1960s or early 1970s, this poster exemplifies the visual language of the global peace movement, pairing humor and idealism in a single, striking composition. An excellent example of period graphic design appealing to collectors of mid-century poster art and peace memorabilia.

Details	1985	Nadon--Paul	Humorous-pictorial-map-of-Breckenridge--Colorado-from-1985-	This colorful pictorial poster map of Breckenridge, Colorado, created and signed by Paul Nadon, presents a detailed illustrated view of the town’s commercial core and surrounding mountain setting as it was in the mid-1980's. The drawing highlights Main Street and nearby blocks through individually rendered storefronts, lodges, restaurants, ski shops, and local businesses, each shown with distinctive architectural and graphic detail. The map functions as a stylized guide to the businesses of the period while offering a snapshot of Breckenridge during the mid-1980s. Copyright New Sensations, 1985. <br><br> Across the landscape, Nadon incorporates a wide variety of playful elements—skiers descending the slopes, hikers, wildlife, a hot-air balloon, a rainbow, and humorous scenes referencing local recreation. Hand-lettered notes provide bits of local history and commentary, while decorative banners and figures add to the informal, tourist-friendly tone of the piece. Despite the whimsical aesthetic, the arrangement of streets and buildings follows the real alignment of Main Street, Ridge Street, Park Avenue, and French Street. <br><br> Produced at a time when Breckenridge was expanding as a Rocky Mountain ski destination, the map captures the town’s commercial identity at a moment of growth. Its combination of detailed storefront depictions, vibrant illustrations, and personable local character makes it both a practical period guide and a visually engaging souvenir from 1980s Breckenridge.<br><br>
