    It looks to be transportation related. Can you take a phot of the name on bottom right? Does it say George or just Wheeler?

    It's a modern thing even though at first glance most would think very old - which it cannot be.

    Maybe more of a decor item?

    Definitely a "decor item" from the "old style map" era.

    Hard to see from your photographs but certainly agree transportation-related. It does include drawings of the Graf Zeppelin (which flew from 1928 to 1937,) the Spirit of St. Louis and Southern Cross which would suggest 1920s and the inclusion of a quote from an obscure 1920s poet Lawrence Hawthorne would also support that timing. And, in the future, it would be helpful if you'd be kind enough to post photographs shot close-up, on plain backgrounds, in good light and right side up.

    The added information about being an engraving was what helped to find it. Always try to give us everything you know. :)
