On the map it seems like Saul Steinberg’s wants to show that 9th & 10th Av are part of the busiest area in the metropolitan area. As from the image we can see a lot of people walking on the streets and also cars moving around the place. One interesting thing which is noticeable is how everything gets smaller and smaller as we move out of New york City. Why is that? May be because Saul Steinberg’s also thinks New York city is the best place to live in and considers other places less cherished and significant. Also, just by looking at the title I wondered that how can you view a scenery in your mind by comparing just 2 blocks with the rest of the world. Saul is criticizing the way people live in other places and only likes how people live in New York. It gives a better image of New york so probably that is why it was chosen to be the cover for the magazine. A think which also stood out to me was reading how the some parties used his cover picture for promoting their movie ” Moscow on the Hudson”. In conclusion, this map leaves us in a thought that is New york self centered? Yes or no? We don’t know.
