Louis Prang was noted for his color lithography. For him, John Bach-mann prepared this delicately rendered view of Boston from the north. It is a superb combination of sensitive artistry and skillful printing. Among the many other details, it shows the development of Commonwealth Avenue to the right on the recently reclaimed land of the Back Bay.

This huge and highly detailed bird's-eye view is one of the most elaborate 19th century American lithographs. The view is to the west with the harbor, docks, and warehouses of the waterfront in the foreground. In the center Bulfinch's noble State House faces Boston Common. Nearby are Old South Church, King's Chapel, and the City Hall. Other parts of the view include the broad sweep of the Charles River, Harvard University, Charlestown, the recently reclaimed Back Bay, and the nearly completed Commonwealth Avenue development. A legend at the bottom identifies twenty-seven numbered places on the view. Our reproduction is from a mint impression in the Library of Congress. We offer it in two sizes. One is printed on three sheets at the full size of the enormous original. When the margins are trimmed and the view assembled, it measures nearly four and one-half feet long and more than two and one-half feet high. Or, individual sheets may be examined for details of individual buildings or sections of the city. The other is printed on a single sheet of lighter weight, laid paper about three-fifths the size of the original.

This Currier and Ives panorama is taken from the tip of Manhattan, looking south to Brooklyn. It shows the Brooklyn Bridge crowded with carriages and freight wagons, vying for the goods and people previously carried by the waterfront ferries. In the distance the Navy Yard, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Heights, and other neighborhoods are shown, along with Prospect Park and Green Wood Cemetery on the right.

Planned in 1771 on a pattern almost exactly duplicating that of Savannah, this Georgia town was enlarged during the land boom of the 1830's. The addition took a different form, with three pairs of public squares evenly spaced within a linear grid of streets.

Buffalo was planned in 1804 by Joseph Ellicott in imitation of the earlier plan of Washington which his brother had drawn and which we have also reproduced. The first design for the city appears in an insert plan on this large print reproduced from O'Callaghan's Documentary History of the State of New York.

In the 1850's the Smith Brothers published dozens of fine lithographic city views. This was the work of J.W. Hill, who captured Buffalo's character as the major port of the Great Lakes astride the western end of the Erie Canal. Our facsimile is from the Public Archives of Canada.
