Renè Cinquin (1898–1978) was a creator of panoramic maps in the United States.[1][2] He also painted.[3] Several of his maps are in the Library of Congress' collection.[4] Metropolitan Aero-View Co. was a publisher of his maps.
The firm of Hughes & Cinquin produced panoramic maps during the 1920s under the sponsorship of Oakley H. Bailey (1843-1947), a panoramic map artist and publisher. The panoramic map collection of the Library of Congress has seven Aero-View maps of Long Island towns and six of New Jersey towns drawn by Rene Cinquin between 1924 and 1929. Most were published by either Hughes & Cinquin, Brooklyn, or Metropolitan Aero-View Co., New York.[5]
Cinquin's map of Patchogue includes an extensive writeup about the community.[6]
