Our splendidly colored lithograph was published by Currier and Ives to coincide with the opening of the Eads Bridge across the Mississippi. A legend at the bottom locates major buildings throughout the city. The foreground detail is particularly important for its depiction of the busy steamboat landing and the blocks along the river that were cleared sixty years later to create a national park.

Our Ellsbury and Green panorama of St. Paul shows the city just twenty-five years after it became the capital of Minnesota Territory. That event stimulated the city's growth, and sharpened its rivalry with nearby Minneapolis. The lithograph glows with color and includes many details of the countryside and the Mississippi River in the foreground.

David H. Burr produced this colorful map of Texas two years before the Republic was formed. This edition makes corrections to his 1833 version to demonstrate the land grants made to new settlers. In the lower left corner is the “Plan of the Port of Galveston, made by order of the Mexican Government, by Alexander Thompson, of the Mexican Navy, in 1828,” one of the earliest depictions of that community.
