Panorama of Manhattan Island, City of New York and Environs.: Geographicus Rare Antique Maps

1854 (undated)
Description
John Bornet presents a sweeping panoramic bird s-eye view of New York City on the cusp of its monumental expansion northwards in the second half of the 19th century. The view looks east on Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn from a high point to the west of Hoboken, New Jersey. Bornet purports to have drawn the view from nature , likely from Bergen Hill, New Jersey, a popular high point used by other viewmakers of the period.
Looking at the ViewThe view contrasts a rural and pastoral foreground with the bustling metropolis of New York City, which itself fades to green north of today s 42nd street. Bornet plays with exaggerated vertical contrast to highlight New York s many soaring church steeples, as well as the Latting Observatory, then the tallest building in New York, and New York Crystal Palace in modern day Bryant Park, both constructed for the 1853 Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations. Ships of both sail and steam, fil ....

Bar Harbor Mt. Desert Island.: Geographicus Rare Antique Maps

1886 (dated)
Description
A rare and highly unusual 1886 bird s-eye view of Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Maine. This view was drawn and published to publicize the rebuilding of the Green Mountain Hotel (following a fire) and the inauguration of the Green Mountain Railroad - here visible at the summit of Cadillac Mountain. The view looks southwest on Bar Harbor from a hypothetical point somewhere above Sheep Porcupine Island. Bar Island appears in the lower right. From a convergence near the old ferry terminal, Bar Harbor s two main commercial arteries (then, as now), Main Street and West Street, radiate outward. Perspective has been exaggerated to emphasize the verticality of Cadillac Mountain, Champlain Mountain, and Eliot Mountain - the three peaks nearest to Bar Harbor. This unusual exaggeration of the vertical perspective also serves to uniquely emphasize the Green Mountain Hotel and Railroad, on the peak of Cadillac Mountain, which, although techn ....

Bird's Eye View of the City and County of San Francisco, 1868.: Geographicus Rare Antique Maps

1868 (dated)
Description
An extraordinary Charles Braddock Gifford and William Vallance Gray 3-color chromolithograph bird s-eye view of San Francisco, California, in 1868 - one of the most desirable and influential views of San Francisco ever produced. The view looks southwest on San Francisco Peninsula from a fictional highpoint to the northeast. The city and bustling harbor are prominent in the foreground while the peninsula s hills and lakes are in the background. The Golden Gate appears at the upper right, and Telegraph Hill at bottom center.
A Bustling PortSan Francisco, which then had a population of roughly 170,000, appears as a bustling port city, its harbor teeming with ships of all kinds, including paddlewheels and steamers. Downtown San Francisco was then, as it is now, dominated by the diagonal cross of Market Street. Individual buildings throughout are easy to identify, underscoring the viewmaker s mastery of detail. Development does not e ....

View of the City of New Bedford, Mass. 1876.: Geographicus Rare Antique Maps

1876 (dated)
Description
This is the 1876 first state of Oakley Hoopes Bailey bird s-eye view of New Bedford, Massachusetts. When New Bedford officially became a city in 1847, it was one of New England s most productive whaling cities, challenging Nantucket and Providence. Whaling dominated the city s economy for most of the century, and that trade fueled the city s initial population boom until around 1860; in 1857, New Bedford was the richest city per capita in the world – but the discovery of petroleum in Pennsylvania would cause an inexorable decline in the market for whale oil, and the predations of secessionist commerce raiders during the American Civil War would speed the decline of an already-fading industry. By the time this view was produced in 1876, New Bedford was not so much a whaling town as it was a mill town: the textile industry had taken over. In 1875, the Wamsutta mills on their own processed enough cotton into cloth to make more money than ....
