Additional Information
Published in both English and German, this unique depiction of New Hampshire in 1796 is a truly authentic piece of cartographical history. Produced by prolific German bookseller Carl Ernst Bohn, this map was created for German Audiences in Hamburg and would have served as a guide for immigrants who were flocking to the newly independent United States. The American Revolution had concluded a decade prior, and Germans would not have a democratic government until 1871. The State motto "Live Free or Die" stemmed from its fiercely independent spirit, and it was the first to establish a Constitution outside of the authority of Great Britain in 1776.
New Hampshire's textile mills brought many immigrants from Germany, and the Amoskeag Mill on the banks of the Merrimack River became the largest textile mill in the world for a time. Manchester, NH saw the formation of a tight-knit German community and because New England had a smaller general population than larger cities like Boston, New York, or Philadelphia. These communities became crucial for new immigrants to get on their feet after making the journey to America. Mills in America were able to offer higher pay, and the religious freedom attracted Catholics and Protestants alike.
These engravings allow historians to stitch together a deeper understanding of how the unique combination of place and people combine to create cultures. The distinctive aesthetic and style of this map transport the viewer back in time and allow a deeper connection to America's History.
