Additional Information
Illustrated by noted German-born lithographer and artist Augustus Kollner this unique depiction of New Jersey's State Capital and one of the earliest established cities in North America shows Trenton, NJ, in a period of significant growth and transformation. First established in 1679 as a Quaker settlement, Trenton has a rich history and deep connections to America's formation. It was the site of Washington's first victory over Hessian troops in 1776 and continued to play a pivotal role during the War of 1812 and the American Civil War.
European immigrants flocked to the city during the nineteenth century, and by the middle of the 1800s, Trenton had experienced a population boom spurred on by thriving pottery and wire rope industries. These immigrants established neighborhoods and communities along cultural lines, and many still exist to this day.
Though New Jersey saw no battles during the Civil War, it supplied nearly ninety-thousand troops for the Union Forces and was an essential provider of munitions and agricultural products. Trenton's direct border with Philadelphia was significant as it developed throughout the nineteenth century and became part of the greater Philadelphia municipality. Trenton's location on the Delaware River allowed for a thriving import and export industry, which further diversified Trenton's population. Kollner was based in Philadelphia and became well known for his landscapes with works in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. This rare depiction of Trenton is immediately recognizable and transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible link between past and present.
