Additional Information
Produced and published during a period of significant growth and prosperity, this distinguished bird's eye perspective immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. Bird's eye perspectives were widely popular during the eighteenth century and served as marketing tools to attract residents and merchants alike by featuring economic opportunities and prominent civic buildings and natural features.
Milwaukee lies on the banks of iconic Lake Michigan and experienced a significant boom in population in the latter portions of the 1800s as immigrants from the American South, Western Europe, and Scandinavia flocked to the city and established numerous neighborhoods and communities based on cultural lines many of which still exist to this day.
Milwaukee's vibrant history was shaped by a large number of German immigrants who settled in the city during the eighteenth century and built breweries that would define the city's reputation for being a leading beer producer in the United States. The first major European settlements started in the 1830s, and Milwaukee has been experiencing a new boom in population in recent years. Beck & Pauli began producing panoramic maps in the 1860s, and they produced a large number of bird's eye perspectives that feature a distinctive aesthetic and unique style that is evocative of eighteenth-century aesthetics.
This depiction is also remarkable due to its use of multiple perspectives that feature prominent parts of the city. Milwaukee remains one of the most diverse major American cities and has a rich cultural history.
