A richly detailed, vintage-style illustrated map of The Great Gatsby's setting, featuring West Egg, East Egg, Valley of Ashes, and New York City.

A richly detailed illustrated map of the setting of “The Great Gatsby,” drawn in a 1920s vintage style. The map shows Long Island and New York City during the Jazz Age. On the left, West Egg is depicted with extravagant mansions, grand gardens, and Gatsby’s enormous Gothic-style mansion with a long dock and green light across the water. On the right, East Egg features elegant, old-money estates like the Buchanan mansion, refined architecture, manicured lawns, and aristocratic atmosphere. Between Long Island and Manhattan lies the Valley of Ashes, shown as a bleak, gray industrial wasteland with factories, smokestacks, ash-covered roads, and the ominous eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg on a giant billboard. Manhattan is illustrated in the distance with early 20th-century skyscrapers, bustling streets, speakeasies, and Art Deco details. The Long Island Sound separates East Egg and West Egg, with boats and reflections on the water. The map includes labeled locations, hand-drawn typography, decorative compass rose, and muted sepia and pastel tones, evoking a classic Jazz Age, storybook map aesthetic. See more
