Lockwood - New York Not So Little and Not So Old - 041
Ilonka Karasz (1896-1981) was the foremost woman modernist designer in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. She designed wallpaper, wrapping paper, textiles, furniture, interiors, nurseries, book jackets, and magazine covers, among other things.
New York, Not So Little and Not So Old was one of two books by Sarah M. Lockwood designed by Karasz in 1926. (The other was Antiques). Of particular note are Karasz's maps, a skill she leant to many books. For more information and other examples of Karasz's work as a cartographer, see my blog post:
