Additional Information
Published by the prominent and prolific WJ Morgan Lithography Company, this birds-eye perspective shows Sandusky in a period of prosperity, growth, and expansion. Located on the northern shores of Lake Erie midway between Toledo and Cleveland, Sandusky has a history that days back to the mid-eighteenth century as a trading outpost for English, French, and Americans. Sandusky was officially incorporated in 1824, and its proximity to Lake Erie allowed it to develop a flourishing economy primarily based on the movement of goods from the ports in the East. The mild climate also created a thriving winemaking and agricultural industry that exists to this day.
WJ Morgan Lithography was established in 1866 and still produces maps to this day. In 1887 they became the exclusive producer of marketing materials for the Ringling Brothers Circus and won awards at Bothe the Chicago Exposition and Paris World Fair for their large-scale billboard-sized posters.
