Five years before A. E. Mathews issued this toned lithograph, a town-site company laid out the streets for this Montana community shortly after gold had been discovered in Alder Gulch. In 1865 it became the territorial capital, and its streets, saloons, dance halls, and gambling dens bustled with activity.

Drawn by the German master builder Andreas Hoger during the Moravian survey of what is now the Winston-Salem area, in September, 1754. Moravians in Pennsylvania expanded their holdings in America by purchasing this 100,000 acre tract in northern North Carolina and named it after the Wachau Valley in Austria. The ornate cartouche illustrates a measuring rod and smoothbore flintlock, both essential pieces of equipment for Hoger’s trek into wilderness, and the only deer shot during the survey trip. Reproduced from the original in the collection of the Wachovia Historical Society, which was only recently discovered and authenticated.

This splendid engraving was the first large official map of the national capital. It records the plan drawn by Pierre Charles L'Enfant and modified by Andrew Ellicott and Thomas Jef-ferson. The strong geometry of the design and the clarity of the engraving combine to make this one of the most striking of American cartographic prints.

W. J. Bennett produced this superb aquatint engraving from a painting by George Cooke. The view is from the south bank of the Anacostia River looking northwest to the Navy Yard, the Capitol, and the White House. This early depiction of the capital city is one of the rarest and most beautiful of Washington prints.
