This two-sided pictorial map of Beverly Hills was created by Dirk Wunderlich and issued in the 62-page Beverly Hills Official Farmers Almanack: A Compilation of Fashionable Merchants Serving the Beautiful People. The map shows the city’s street-grid pattern and is filled with quirky characters and signs promoting local businesses. Advertisements surround both maps including Hollywood Sports Cars, Inc., Imre Gordon Electrolysis, and Benihana to name a few. Decorated by classic strapwork title cartouches with psychedelic lettering.
