Re: Harrison Godwin Comic Map of San Francisco - 1927
Has anyone seen one of these sell, the price and have they been reproduced?
Re: Harrison Godwin Comic Map of San Francisco - 1927
I don't know of any reproductions, but it's quite likely it has been reproduced. This one matches the size of the originals, but you'd have to have it physically examined by a specialist map dealer or appraiser. I've seen originals of this listed retail in the $2500.00- $3000.00 range.
Re: Harrison Godwin Comic Map of San Francisco - 1927
I found several places reproducing them but even they are from 75 to 250 depending on size, Ā Mine is framed and I can't see the back. Ā Thanks for the reply..Ā
