View of the World from 9th Avenue

The cover of View of the World from 9th Avenue portrays how vantage points can lead you to view something very differently. In this cover, it is basically a map which has important things after 9th avenue in New York City. These important things include 10th avenue, The Hudson River, New Jersey and the Pacific Ocean. This is an illustration because these things aren’t actually visible if you stand in 9th avenue. This is also a vantage point that doesn’t show what’s on the opposite side of 9th avenue. This illustration is what the author knows is beyond 9th avenue although it isn’t actually visible. The author might be insinuating that the city blocks off many views that we would benefit from viewing. The inaccuracies in this cover is that you obviously can’t see these things from 9th avenue. I understand that the map is portraying a view from 9th avenue.The New York Magazine was an issue that had this cover at the front. It was important for this illustration to be the cover because it was discussing the case of Steinberg vs Columbia Pictures Industries.
