PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire 1877 Bird's Eye View Map

A Reproduction of a Bird's Eye View Map of PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire published in 1877. Bird’s-eye views appear as something between a panoramic view and a map, as though they were drawn by the artist while he was suspended in a hot-air balloon. In fact, they were drawn by hand using, most often, two-point perspective to produce a three-dimensional rendering. The city views are surprisingly accurate and represent a much neglected source for understanding the history of an area.

This image is printed on heavy matte fine art paper with archival inks.

Framed maps include dry mounting, UV filtering glass, and your choice of six mouldings, wired and ready to hang upon delivery. All mouldings are approximately 1.5" wide. Please factor in an additional 3" to the listed size for framed items.
