Published during a significant period of growth, development, and transformation during the late nineteenth century, this stunning depiction of Victoria is an authentic piece of cartographical history. This birds-eye perspective's unique aesthetic and distinctive style is immediately recognizable and transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. As the capital of British Columbia, Victoria is one of the most iconic cities in Western Canada and has come to be known as the Garden City and for its rugged shoreline and beaches. Birdseye perspectives were among the most popular illustration styles during the nineteenth century and were used to attract residents and merchants alike, featuring notable civic and geographic features. These depictions were displayed locally as well as distributed throughout train stations to help spur immigration and promote local industries. The Port of Victoria was thriving during the 1880s, though the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1886 allowed Vancouver to become the economic center of Western Canada. Victoria is known for its Edwardian architecture and was incorporated in 1862 when the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush caused a massive influx of speculators from across America looking to strike a claim in the verdant foothills surrounding the Canadian Rockies. The population expanded from three hundred to over five thousand in a matter of days. Prospectors found eager merchants establishing outfitting general stores to prepare them for the harsh terrain and long, cold winters characteristic of the remote location of the goldfields.Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.

    This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a forest on either side of a large body of water. 1x is not your average photo site. All photos on 1x are selected by a team of professional gallery curators, just like in a real photo gallery. Our curators have experience from well-known institutions such as Sotheby's and Tate Modern Art. We believe that everyone has an inner photographer, just waiting to be discovered. Getting published on 1x is a great achievement; many photographers whose works now hang in art galleries were once discovered on 1x. It's no coincidence that art directors, book editors, and magazines all over the world use photos from 1x photographers. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
