Additional Information

Produced and published by the prolific Merchants Lithographing Company, founded by noted cartographer and engraver Eli Glover, this unique bird's eye perspective of Tacoma with Mount Rainier in the background shows the city in a period of growth and transition following the completion of the Western Terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Tacoma grew steadily in the late nineteenth century with the completion of the transcontinental rail line in 1887, and the city experienced a population boom. That would continue through the early twentieth century. Initially, the line was planned to be established in Olympia to the West, but lobbying by the influential developer Morton McCarver diverted the station to Tacoma.

Birds eye perspectives were produced to highlight notable features and buildings in an effort to attract workers and industrialists alike. Residents and local merchants would also display them in a show of civic pride. These illustrations were wildly popular from the middle of the nineteenth century all the way into the 1920s. Local residents staged a global circumnavigation that began and ended in Tacoma in an effort to promote the city. The feat is commemorated by a plaque noting the starting and endpoint. 

Glover produced many of these perspectives and worked primarily on the West Coast from San Francisco to Washington, and his works are noted for their distinctive aesthetic and accuracy. Their style is immediately recognizable and transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible link between the present and past. This is an authentic piece of American cartographical history.

Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
