...City Sights

City Sights is a collection of 12" x 16" montages of buildings and skylines from eight U.S. cities. I'm working on digitizing the charts and will have these available for sale at a later date. If there's one you're particularly interested in, let me know and I'll work on it first. If you want to stitch features individually, the dimensions are included on the charts. Many skylines have changed since these were designed -- they are snapshots in time.
