Reps charts the visual and architectural evolution of Washington, D.C., from its founding in 1790 through the late twentieth century, drawing on more than 170 illustrations including engravings, aquatints, lithographs, watercolors, maps, and photographs that documented the capital before and after the advent of photography. The oversized volume reproduces images originally circulated in periodicals, guidebooks, souvenir publications, and as standalone prints, paired with commentary by travelers and residents recording their reactions to the growing city. Reps, a noted urban historian at Cornell, situates these depictions within the planning history of the District and the changing perceptions of the American capital.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. 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. Open copy with light wear, clean pages with tight binding, wrapped in Brodart protector.
