Published in 1769, this map of Boston was produced at a time of great tumult for the iconic American city. Though the Revolutionary war had yet to break out, tensions were high between the colonists and Great Britain. The passage of the Townsend Acts in 1767 had further angered colonists, and Boston was a hotbed for patriot speech and action. Boston’s role in the Revolution was crucial, and this depiction in 1769 paints a unique picture of the city in a time of transition and just one year before the famous Boston Massacre. British troops that had been stationed in the city since 1868 opened fire on a group of pro-independence protestors, and the incident served as fuel for the growing Patriotic movement. Some of the interesting features of this illustration include the details regarding the dates of significant fires as well as outbreaks of smallpox. It also features landmarks that have been filled and re-purposed like Mill Pond as well as prominent features that remain to this day like Boston Common. William Price, the producer of this map, owned the rights to this map, which was initially printed in 1726. Price would amend and update the map re-printing for the following forty years. Street names were added or changed, and new buildings were depicted by shading rather than perspective drawing. The details, additions, and cartouche make this map the best visual record of pre-Revolutionary Boston and an authentic piece of both American and cartographical history.

Published only eight years after Montana achieved statehood, this depiction of the iconic region shows it in a period of significant growth, transformation, and prosperity. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered free land to any settler who could establish farms or ranches on up to 160 acres. By the 1880s, the state capital, Helena, had more millionaires than any other American city. The Desert Land Act of 1877 further increased settlement throughout the state as eager immigrants could get up to 640 acres of land for twenty-five cents per acre. This attracted scores of cattle and sheep ranchers, which would become one of the most prominent economic drivers for Montana for the following century.As the nation neared the turn of the century, the establishment of a complete railroad system was almost complete, and this expansion of access and ease of transportation allowed more immigrants to reach the remote state to start small communities based around agricultural exports. Montana did not see settlement begin until the 1850s and remains one of the most sparsely populated regions in the United States. The region was first officially recognized as the eastern portion of the Oregon Territory, which was established in 1848. One of the most notable natural spaces in the United States, Yellowstone National Park, was created in 1872 and draws thousands of tourists annually. This map bears a distinctive aesthetic and classic style that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

One of the most iconic figures in the American Civil Rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr., remains an essential piece of American history and the progression of black rights across the United States. Captured here by noted photojournalist Marion S. Trikosko in 1964 during a press conference, this remains one of the enduring images of the preacher four years prior to his assassination at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. King's role in the Civil Rights movement cannot be understated, and he has become nearly synonymous with non-violent protest and peace movements across the globe.This photo was taken only a year after his "I Have a Dream" speech in the March on Washington in 1963, delivered to nearly 250,000 participants in the protest for equal rights. His work in the Civil Rights movement led to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The march was one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the United States and was a pivotal turning point in the American Civil Rights movement. It's also considered a key reason for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, another piece of key legislation for the movement.In 1955 King was a leader in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the first protests in the American South. He became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his work in the Civil Rights movement and his belief in nonviolent protest as civil disobedience.

The 1870s were a period of rapid growth for railroads, and their importance cannot be overstated for their contribution to the growth, transformation, and development of American culture. The first Transcontinental line had been completed just five years prior in 1869, and the steam engine had become the dominant method for transporting goods and people quickly through the nation. The emergence of sleeping and dining cars had made travel more widespread and luxurious. By the 1870s, the state's natural resources were being tapped, and its primary economic drivers were the agricultural and farming industries. Railroads allowed the efficient transport of these goods to the rest of the Union and also gave greater access to the immigrants that were flocking to the state. German, Scandinavian, and Northern European immigrants established farms and mills throughout the region. Iron mining was also becoming an integral part of this thriving economy by the end of the 19th century. With the conclusion of the Civil War nine years prior, the state had seen considerable growth in population with nearly 500,000 residents by 1874. Railroad maps were an essential tool for the merchants and farmers of this time and would define the settlement and establishment of towns for years to come. Published in 1874, this is one of the earlier maps to depict Minnesota, and its producer AJ Reed was one of the only active mapmakers in the state during this era. This rare print and its distinctive aesthetic are a unique piece of cartographical history. Our museum quality giclee Minnesota art work comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your Minnesota home decor print will arrive ready to be framed.

Published in the same year, Oregon joined the Union as the 33rd State; this map was produced in a time of great transition for the Northwestern area. It would take another four decades for Washington to achieve statehood. Lewis and Clark had concluded their trans-continental trek fifty years prior, and the region was experiencing rapid growth and development. The logging and commercial fishing industries supported by the ports in Seattle and Portland respectively allowed the territory to thrive and established economies that endure today. The territory had been established in 1848, and settlers were building farms and ranches in the plains of the East while enjoying fruits of the sea and forest in the West. The Northwest Territories had throngs of settlers coming from the East as missionaries and miners, while the ports saw immigrants arriving from Asia. The thriving ports had a reputation as rough places with numerous saloons and gambling dens frequented by sailors from around the world. The Fraser Canyon Gold Rush in British Columbia started in 1858, had eager miners traveling north on the Oregon Trail, and merchants throughout the western portion of the territory enjoyed a robust trade in outfitting and provisions. Mining would continue to be a part of the region's economy, and prospecting would cause the most significant population expansion at the close of the century with the Yukon Gold Rush. The unique aesthetic of this representation immediately transports the viewer back in time and links the past and present with its distinct characteristics.

Published in the same year that Washington gained statehood becoming the 42nd state, and this depiction of Washington shows the state in a time of great transition. Upon entering the Union, Washington found itself in a period of unprecedented prosperity, and Seattle's thriving ports were becoming the primary economic driver, edging out lumber as the primary source of capital in the region. The Great Fire of Seattle broke out on June 6, 1889, and would forever transform the great cities' architecture, marking a turn from Victorian timber-clad homes to structures constructed with brick, steel, and glass. This transition was just one of many that the city experienced in the late 19th century as it's reputation as a rough and tumble frontier town was waning. It was becoming a progressive and diverse city. The cities population boomed following the fire, and it quickly became the largest in Washington. Located in present-day Pioneer Square, the fire was centralized downtown and destroyed nearly 25 city blocks. Produced by noted American cartographer, and civil engineer W.H. Galvani for the prolific JK Gill map company, this is truly an authentic piece of cartographical history. As the country neared the turn of the century, manufacturing was becoming one of the primary industries. With cosmopolitan Seattle leading the charge, much of the eastern portion of the state remained dedicated to agricultural and mining efforts. These maps are glimpses into life in the late 19th century and allow historians to develop a sense of life at the time.

The site of the first Swedish settlement in America, Wilmington bears a distinctive place in the nation’s history and remains one of the most iconic cities on the East Coast. The most populous city in the state of Delaware, its location at the confluence of the Christina and Brandywine Rivers, whose banks are now home to the famous riverwalk. By the late nineteenth century, the city remained an economic hub within the Delaware Valley and had enjoyed a period of significant prosperity in the years following the conclusion of the American Civil War. In 1664 the British began colonizing the city, which led to brief battles in the area with the Dutch. Panoramic maps were widely popular during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and bear a distinctive aesthetic. Their characteristic style immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. Produced and published by the H.H. Bailey company, this stunning birds-eye perspective contains considerable detail and artistic flourishes. They served as marketing materials to attract residents and merchants alike and featured prominent civic and economic opportunities. By the 1870s, Wilmington remained one of the largest producers of iron ships, gunpowder, and leather goods. Wealthy industrialists and merchants constructed large homes on wide avenues with Victorian architecture that remain to this day.This authentic piece of cartographical history depicts the city as the nation rebuilt after the end of the Civil War, and numerous Southerners established communities across the mid-Atlantic seaboard.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

Published in 1870 by the prolific lithographer Currier & Ives, this stunning depiction of New York City shows the iconic American city at a time of great transition and prosperity. The conclusion of the Civil War five years prior was allowing the country to recover and the economy to expand. Tourism was increasing, and the city became the number one destination. Grand hotels were being built, and the city was about to begin the Gilded Age. Bird's eye perspectives were illustrated to allow citizens and merchants to display civic pride and noted essential and prominent buildings. These depictions give insight into the history of America, and their unique aesthetic transports the viewer back in time. New York City was bustling at the start of 1870 and had seen mass immigration from Ireland for the past ten years due to the Great Irish Famine. The Irish comprised nearly a quarter of the cities population, whose great migration was rivaled only by that of German immigrants who were fleeing cities disrupted by revolutions in the middle of the 19th century. This would start to change as immigrants from across the globe began to arrive in the following two decades with the opening of Ellis Island in 1892. Brooklyn established Coney Island in the 1870s, and it became an iconic destination for beachgoers since its inception. The five boroughs had yet to be consolidated, although the cultures and unique features of each were developing and evolving into what would become recognizable today.

In the late nineteenth century, widespread investment by foreign companies spurred economic growth and prosperity throughout Cuba, and it was flourishing and experiencing significant growth in the early twentieth century. Following the conclusion of the Spanish-American War, Cuba became a protectorate of the United States under provisions included in the Treaty of Paris, which was signed in 1898. Cuba’s new constitution allowed the US to intervene in international affairs, financial policies, and diplomatic relationships. Cuba also agreed to lease the US land for the Naval base at Guantanamo Bay. This period also saw economic expansion spurred by a thriving sugar cane industry and the establishment of rail lines during the nineteenth century.Produced by the iconic American mapmakers Rand McNally, this detailed map is immediately recognizable. It presents the iconic Caribbean Island with remarkable detail and attention to the distinct provinces, towns, and cities. Foreign interest, particularly by American industrialists, remained high throughout the twentieth century until the Castro revolution took political control in 1959. This depiction was initially published in the McNally business atlas of Cuba and later reproduced as an independent print. With a population of more than one and a half million, Cuba was enjoying this period of prosperity and growth as a cultural center of the region, and Havana became known as Paris of the Antilles. This is an authentic piece of cartographical history that bears a distinctive style and classic aesthetic that provides the viewer an indelible link to the past and present.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

It’s for the map lover and pre-Castro history buff. It has all the provinces identified as they existed in the 1950’s as well as the rail lines. Pretty cool.

With an official 136 islands in the Casco Bay, it figured prominently in the War of 1812, serving as an anchorage for US Naval ships. The waters that are surrounded by Portland, Maine have long served as the primary economic driver for the city, and commercial fishing is an essential industry. Produced by George H. Walker's lithography company in 1906, this stunning depiction shows the railroads and steamship lines that were so important to the region. Walker's grandson and great-grandson would later both become President of the United States. The peninsula was originally settled in 1632 as a fishing and trading village. By the turn of the 20th century, the region was well known for its sailing and sport fishing. By 1911 five railroads used the city as a hub, and it remains the largest city in Maine. These hubs were essential for the region, and goods flowed into the Northeast and Canada. The nearby town of Deering was annexed by Portland in 1899 and greatly expanded the area for development away from the shoreline. The Grand Trunk Railroad was completed in 1852 and served as the primary source for imports to Montreal, especially crucial in the winter months when the city became inaccessible by water. This trade route was an important income source for residents of Portland, and the Portland Rail Company produced more than 600 locomotives. This stunning depiction shows the city in a time of great prosperity and is truly an authentic piece of cartographical history.

Produced and published by one of the most prolific illustrators of panoramic maps, Henry Wellge, this stunning depiction of Salt Lake City shows the iconic western state in a period of significant transformation. Wellge’s unique style was widely popular during the latter nineteenth and early twentieth century. Birdseye perspectives served as marketing materials to attract residents and merchants alike. They featured prominent civic, economic, and geographic features. These illustrations bear a distinctive style that is immediately recognizable and transports the viewer back in time. Wellge was one of six cartographers responsible for more than half of all American birds-eye perspectives.The cities settlement began in 1847 with the arrival of the Latter Day Saints. The original settlers attempted to form a recognized nation. However, the United States did not comply and established the Territory of Utah in 1850, which was considerably smaller in size. At the time of this map’s publication, Utah was still not formally recognized by the United States, though it would achieve statehood in 1896 and establish Salt Lake City as its Capital. The city experienced a period of growth in the late nineteenth century when it was connected to the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded access. This growth was marked by the establishment of diverse communities throughout the city based on cultural lines, many of which exist to this day. Birdseye perspectives are historically significant representations of cartography, society, and technological advances during the 1800s. Wellge’s maps are distinguished by their detail and artistic flourishes.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

This classic depiction of the Commander of the Continental Army and First President of the United States, George Washington, shows the iconic founding father during the height of the American Revolution at his headquarters in Valley Forge, PA. Continental troops were suffering from bitterly cold conditions and a lack of necessary supplies, though their spirits remained high as they battled the British for freedom from colonial rule. Some 12,000 troops camped at Valley forge during the winter of 1777, and this tribute was painted in 1911 by noted American artist E. Percy Moran and remains an enduring symbol of early American history.Born in Philadelphia in 1862, Moran was the son of English immigrants who had come to the United States in the early nineteenth century. His father was also an artist and taught Moran at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. Moran became known for painting historical scenes, and this depiction of Washington remains one of his most famous pieces as it represents a pivotal moment in the American Revolution. Moran's classic style and aesthetic were very popular in the early twentieth century and tended to mirror his traditional subjects of early American history and pastoral landscapes.This remains one of the most paintings of Washington and his ability to inspire American troops throughout the Revolutionary War. The painting draws the viewer in and creates an indelible bond between the past and present. Moran frequently chose Washington as the subject of his work; this remains the most recognized piece.

Published just two years before the American Revolution broke out, this depiction of what would become South Carolina is highly detailed and would have been a valued resource at the time. By illustrating not just the towns and counties, but also topographical information, this map serves as a real link to the past and an authentic piece of cartographical history. This era in South Carolina, and the other twelve colonies, saw tensions rising against colonial rule by Great Britain, and the Boston Tea Party occurred in the same year this map was produced. Charlestown, the oldest and most populated city in South Carolina, was a valuable port and the busiest hub of Atlantic trade between the colonies and England. In addition, the huge amount of business that occurred in Charlestown made it the most prosperous city in North America at this time. Tobacco exports flourished, and the state developed widespread rice cultivation in its marshy lowlands. South Carolina’s rich history goes back to the first settlers of the land who found fertile ground for farming as well as valuable marine life and the ability to establish deepwater ports. Five years after the publication of this map South Carolina would be the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation and would go on to become the eighth state to join the fledgling nation. During the American Revolution, the state saw nearly a third of all conflicts on its land, more than any other state, as residents endured invasion by the English.

1789 was an incredibly important year for the new nation as it had defeated the British, and the monumental task of creating and implementing democratic rule had been undertaken by the Congress of the Confederation, which had assembled in New York City in 1785. The Continental Congress ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1789, and it was also the year General George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the fledgling United States. The nation's capital at the time, New York City, was undergoing a significant transition, and the United States itself was beginning to navigate freedom from British rule. New York City was becoming the cultural center, and it's thriving financial markets, and bustling port provided an economic boom. New York City became the most populated city in the nation in 1790, and the growth would only continue. In the 19th century, the population would go from around 65,000 to nearly 3.5 million. This map indexes the notable buildings of the time and allows historians to create a vision for what daily life would have been like in the late 18th century. With the formation of the stock market to follow three years later, New York was rapidly developing, and by offering merchants more for their imported goods, the city was able to economically surpass both Boston and Philadelphia as the leading hub for imports. The city always held a cosmopolitan attitude, and its resident's tolerance for immigrants allowed the diversity it is known for today.

Produced by prominent Icelandic naturalist and geologist Þorvaldur Thoroddsen, this unique map of the Nordic Island shows its wide geological diversity and volcanic features. Iceland is the only portion of the Mid Atlantic Ridge that rises above the Atlantic Ocean and features a central plateau that is home to a volcano field that is nearly constantly erupting. Following the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark and Norway became separate nations, and Iceland remained under Danish rule. Independence movements were growing throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In 1874 Denmark granted Iceland its own constitution with limited home governance. In 1918 Denmark granted Iceland a twenty-five-year period of independence in a personal union with the Dutch. In 1944, Iceland formally became a republic and entered a period of significant economic expansion and prosperity. Thoroddsen studied geology in Copenhagen and was inspired to create this depiction to highlight the natural geological diversity found on the Island. Prior to this publication, the vast wilderness and uninhabited regions of the country had been largely unmapped or documented. Thoroddsen’s depiction is the first to not focus on the populated areas of the country. He would go on to write several books regarding the unique geology of Iceland. This map bears a distinctive aesthetic and classic style that immediately transports the viewer back in time. This rare piece of Icelandic geologic and cartographical history provides an indelible bond between the past and present. Thoroddsen’s map was the earliest depiction to document the nation conclusively.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

The rich details and technical analytics present in this unique depiction differentiate to from other styles of cartographical pieces. The distinctive style is immediately recognizable and informs the viewer with historical data such as average rainfall as well as high and low-temperature records. These maps define thirteen zones and are widely used for gardening, landscaping, and agricultural purposes. The United States Department of Agriculture produces these maps annually, and the first official publication was completed in 1960. Though, attempts at creating a map of these zones have been attempted since 1927. Advances in meteorological technology along with other significant developments like computers, accurate digital thermometers, and satellite imagery would cause considerable gains in the development of these pieces, which were completely revamped in 1990. This depiction was completed after another overhaul by the Arbor Day Foundation in 2006 further altered the aesthetic and performed revisions based on current data. This map was also the first update since 2006 that increased the zones by two to reflect better definitions for tropical and semitropical plants and include Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Zone boundaries were also shifted in the 2012 publication to reflect changes to regional climates and seasonality.This publication is also interesting as the zones reflected higher temperatures; a half zone warmer than the 1990 map. These unique pieces of cartographical history are among some of the lesser-known works, though they offer an interesting perspective on changing weather patterns. They are also an invaluable tool for arborists and horticulturalists.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

Published during a period of rebuilding and growth, Tennessee’s State Capital of Nashville has a rich history, unique culture, and this depiction offers a window into its development and evolution. In the decade following the conclusion of the Civil War, Nashville experienced a population boom as a robust local economy expanded due to increased manufacturing jobs, a busy inland port on the Cumberland River, and the number of residents grew exponentially in the latter parts of the nineteenth century. The city had been the site of a bloody clash between Union and Confederate forces in 1862 and was controlled by the Union until the end of the war in 1865. Another significant Confederate loss occurred in 1864 with the defeat of Confederate General Hood in what would become a turning point in the conflict.Compiled by Massachusetts-born Wilbur F. Fisk, who had relocated to the city in 1851 at the age of seventeen to begin his career as a surveyor and cartographer. Nashville was charted in 1806 and became a political, commercial, and financial center of Tennessee, given its central location and proximity to a major waterway. Nashville became the permanent State Capital in 1843, with the capital building being completed in 1859. Citizens throughout the south flocked to Nashville both during the Civil War and in the decades following as jobs were plentiful and it was safer than the surrounding countryside. The distinctive aesthetic and minimal style immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.

Located on the island of Hispaniola and sharing a border with the Dominican Republic, Haiti has a distinctive culture and rich history. The nation achieved sovereignty from French colonial rule in 1804 and became the first independent nation in the Caribbean and Latin America. This Central Intelligence Agency map shows Haiti in the so-called Post-Duvalier era. In 1994 the United States began negotiations with military leaders to allow the peaceful entry of twenty-thousand American troops. These efforts allowed for the restoration of democratic leadership under Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been ousted by military forces following his election in 1990. The coup forced many Haitians to attempt to flee the island.Aristide planned to enact free-market reforms in an effort to improve the Haitian economy, though it achieved mixed results, which in many cases did not improve local communities. In November of 1994, the island suffered massive casualties following mudslides caused by Hurricane Gordon. Haiti has long been used to export agricultural products to markets across America and Europe and was the first island discovered by Columbus in 1492. Spain laid claim to the region through French efforts would eventually lead to Spain ceding the western portion of Hispaniola. Under French colonial rule, sugarcane farms were established to meet growing demand.Haiti’s unique culture blends Spanish, French, Indigenous, and African cultures into a distinctive mix that remains one of the most unique in the western world. This map displays Haiti in a period of significant transformation.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.
