The Harlem Renaissance Map is more than an attractive wall poster. It also contains a well-researched walking-tour guide to Harlem's historic sites. The itinerary includes sixty-one of the neighborhood's most interesting spots; each is briefly described, and clearly located on a secondary map specifically designed for those visiting Harlem. The walking-tour guide is printed on the back of folded Harlem maps. Unfolded posters and framed maps come with a separate four-page booklet containing the walking-tour information.
