New York Neighborhood Plates from West Elm

brooklyn-plates.jpg

I recently saw these New York neighborhood plates on West Elm’s site and fell in love immediately. The whimsical black-and-white line illustrations, drawn by artist James McNally, depict Dumbo, Coney Island, Central Park, and Chelsea. They remind me of both old Saul Steinberg illustrations for the New Yorker and vintage children’s books.

If he does a part II series with Park Slope and Red Hook plates, I would seriously consider using them as wall decor.
