This print, titled "General View of Philadelphia, 1875" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of one of America's oldest cities. The image showcases the remarkable architectural landmarks that defined Philadelphia during this era. From the aerial perspective, we can see Moyamensing Prison standing tall, its imposing structure a testament to the city's penal system. Nearby, City Hall commands attention with its grandeur and intricate detailing. The Masonic Temple also makes an appearance, exuding mystery and intrigue. The print provides a comprehensive view of Philadelphia's layout through its detailed map and plan. It highlights key locations such as the Catholic Cathedral and Girard College, both significant institutions within the city's cultural fabric.
