Plan de Paris

Karasz, Ilonka, 1896-1981 · 1927

Created by Ilonka Karasz in 1927, this playfully illustrated tourist guide to Paris highlights the delights found on the city’s labyrinthine streets. As a designer and illustrator, Karasz was among the first women to attend the influential Vienna Workshop, and was subsequently granted opportunities generally reserved for men. She created several maps and designed in wide variety of other media, including 186 "New Yorker" magazine covers spanning 30 years.
