EDITORS COMMENTS
MAP: BOSTON, c1880. Boston Old and New. A captivating glimpse into the evolution of Boston, Massachusetts, is captured in this remarkable print by Justin Winsor. Dating back to 1880, Winsor's meticulously detailed map showcases the city's extraordinary expansion through landfill. The image reveals a mesmerizing transformation as Boston extends its boundaries beyond its original peninsula. Through a combination of reclamation and land fill techniques, the once marshy wetlands have been ingeniously converted into thriving urban landscapes. Winsor's engraving skillfully highlights both the old and new sections of the city, allowing viewers to appreciate how Boston has grown over time. The key provided offers valuable insights into various landmarks and features that define this bustling American metropolis. The typeface used in this historical artifact adds an authentic touch to the overall aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate maps during that era. This particular print is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection – a treasure trove for history enthusiasts seeking glimpses into America's past. With FAA (Fine Art America) quality assurance backing it up, this print promises exceptional clarity and durability for those who choose to own a piece of Boston's rich heritage.
