Where can I find this new yorker style poster?

Where can I find the "View from 9th Avenue" style poster that was based on Harvard instead of New York?

I feel sure I saw one once...maybe even on the wall at Mr Bartley's? I would like to get one for my home office, but I can't track one down.

Does this version truly exist? If so, where could I buy one?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Have you tried The Coop? That's the first place I'd check.

This will sound really vague, but I think there's a store on Mass Ave somewhere between Harvard and Porter that had them a few years ago.

Response by poster: So they do exist? Or at least you and I share a delusion? :)

I think I remember such a poster in the old poster section on the second floor of the pre-renovated Coop (with windows looking out upon the Church Street parking lot and the current day Starbucks).

This will sound really vague, but I think there's a store on Mass Ave somewhere between Harvard and Porter that had them a few years ago.

Might that be the vintage map store WardMaps at 1735 Mass Ave. between Harvard and Porter Squares? While specializing in vintagemaps, they may be a good resource in which to check-in.

Also consider contacting the Crimson and Harvard Magazine. How about asking a librarian at Widener via their "Ask a Librarian" program?

If they don't exist, they *should*.
