Summary: As new towns and cities spread across the American frontier in the nineteenth century, itinerant artists soon followed, documenting these growing urban centers by drawing aerial perspectives, also known as bird's eye views. Commissioned by land speculators, local businesses, civic organizations, and individual citizens, these renderings fostered both civic pride and local commerce. The use of color lithography, a recent invention popularized by such prominent publishers as Currier & Ives, allowed the inexpensive reproduction of the highest-quality drawings, so that a bird's eye view was within the financial budget of even the smallest towns. These extraordinarily detailed lithographs eventually numbered in the thousands and now serve as a rich pictorial record of North America as it stood a century ago. This sequel to our highly acclaimed title An Atlas of Rare City Maps collects over 100 views dating between 1835 and 1902, showing the streets, buildings, churches, bridges, waterways, and surrounding countryside of North American towns, ranging from burgeoning metropolitan centers to small logging towns and mining camps. Baltimore, Brooklyn, Denver, Indianapolis, Memphis, Montreal, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Syracuse, and Washington are just a few of the cities presented in this collection. The exquisite color and fine detail of these bird's eye views have been reproduced in all their original glory; also included is an introduction by John W. Reps providing a background on the artistic process and on urban development in the nineteenth century. 4 Kg.

"The story of how a new nation was carved out of the wilderness of North America has a mythology of its own, as every historian knows. One widely held myth has been that towns and cities, especially in the thirteen original colonies, were not planned, they just happened: some settled in a likely spot, others came along, and soon a community of houses and churches and streets had appeared. Yet the orderly vistas of Williamsburg and the imposing circles of Annapolis gave clear proof that in those places as well as some others, imaginative planning had been done right from the start. And now Professor Reps demonstrates that the myth had little foundation anywhere in the Chesapeake Bay colonies. This carefully documented and thoroughly illustrated study of the origins of towns in tidewater Virginia and Maryland shows that in almost every instance the towns were laid out on paper and staked out on the ground before the first house was built. Indeed, largely because of easy water transportation throughout the tidewater area, the efforts preliminary to establishing towns often were more impressive than the results achieved. Time and again the plans for settlement ended right where they started -- on paper. In other cases the planned town became a reality: Baltimore, Norfolk, Hampton, Alexandria, and others, all began with someone's plan of how the initial settlement should be laid out. The author examines the red and reproduces plans, maps, and views of a large number of tidewater towns, both great and small; his range extends not only westward to Richmond, but to that postcolonial landmark of city planning, Washington, D.C. His greatest attention focuses on Williamsburg, and he attacks and presents a solution to a puzzle that has mystified many scholars: the W and M cipher of Governor Francis Nicholson's original plan for the colonial capital.".
