Additional Information
Drawn by Albert Ruger and published in 1878 by D. Bremner and Company of Milwaukee, this bird's-eye view presents the town of Richmond in Sagadahoc County, Maine. An index identifies landmarks across the compact community lining the western bank of the Kennebec, one of New England's most commercially vital waterways.
Richmond thrived as a center of shipbuilding and ice harvesting during the nineteenth century, industries that depended on the tidal reach of the great river flowing past its wharves. Schooners carried timber and frozen blocks downstream to Bath and onward to coastal markets from Portland to Philadelphia.
The surrounding countryside supported dairy farms, apple orchards, and hay fields that sustained families through long northern seasons. A bridge linked Richmond with Dresden on the far shore, connecting neighbors whose shared fortunes rose and fell with the health of the river economy.
This reproduction recalls an era when small Maine towns drew their livelihood from the current at their doorstep and seasonal harvests shaped the pace of every working year. Considered among the finest Kennebec Valley views of the period, it brings quiet heritage to any office, study, or living room.
