Additional Information
Produced and published by one of the most prolific cartographers of his time, Lucien Burleigh, this depiction of the iconic upstate New York town of Kingston bears a unique style and aesthetic that is immediately recognizable. Burleigh’s work is included in the Smithsonian American Art Museum as well as the Boston Public Library archives. Panoramic maps were widely popular during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and served as marketing materials to attract residents and merchants alike. They featured prominent civic and economic features that drew immigrants from across America and Western Europe. The ornate flourishes and attention to detail make these authentic pieces of American cartographical history that link the viewer to the past.
Located on the western banks of the Hudson River, Kingston’s rich history dates back to the Colonial era, and it was the first State Capital of New York. The geographic location made it a transportation hub for coal mined in Pennsylvania that traveled down the river to markets in New York City, some ninety-one miles to the South. The city was burned by British Troops following the Battles of Saratoga. This depiction shows Kingston in a period of significant prosperity in the decade following the American Civil War.
Manufacturing and shipping had spurred the local economy, and by 1875 numerous industries were thriving. The city is home to three distinct historically recognized neighborhoods known for their architecture and regional significance. This is an authentic piece of American cartographical history with a striking appearance.
