Bailey and Company of Boston, this bird's-eye view presents Birmingham, Connecticut, at the confluence of the Naugatuck and Housatonic Rivers in New Haven County. Illustrations and an index identify points of interest across the thriving manufacturing center along the powerful waterways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBirmingham prospered as a hub of brass, copper, and metalworking during the nineteenth century, its factories defining the character of the lower Naugatuck Valley. Workshops produced hardware, pins, and specialty castings for buyers nationwide, drawing immigrant workers who settled in compact neighborhoods above the busy mill district.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe community would merge with neighboring Derby in 1893, losing its independent identity just seventeen years after this view appeared. In 1876, however, residents celebrated the national centennial as a confident and self-governing settlement whose goods contributed to the expanding republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction provides insight into a vanished Connecticut borough at the height of its civic pride and productive ambition. Considered among the finest valley views of the era, it brings heritage and character to any office, study, or living room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":67686940278973,"sku":"ENMAP0812_1824L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30 Inch","offer_id":67686940311741,"sku":"ENMAP0812_2430L","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1OQX3S612_35X1jWNKA6ZYqp0MWY_WmIe_w1000.jpg?v=1791436719","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1876-birds-eye-view-birmingham-connecticut-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
