Additional Information
The first European settlers arrived in the region in 1653 and began establishing small farms and homesteads. Produced and published by L.R. Burleigh, this stunning depiction shows the city in a period of significant growth and transformation as the nation neared the turn of the century. Burleigh was one of the most prolific panoramic map producers during his decades-long career. Birds eye perspectives were widely popular during the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Panoramic maps served as marketing materials to entice residents and merchants alike and featured prominent civic buildings, educational and religious institutions, as well as other cultural and economic opportunities.
Leominster was enjoying significant prosperity in the years following the conclusion of the American Civil War, and numerous factories, mills, and other manufacturing facilities attracted immigrants from Europe, Great Britain, and the American South who established neighborhoods and communities along cultural lines, many of which exist to this day. As the Northeast grew rapidly, the Greater Boston area became one of the most prosperous regions in America and Leominster became one of the country’s largest producers of celluloid products. Plastic manufacturing would fuel the local economy until the late twentieth century.
This is an authentic piece of American cartographical history with a distinctive aesthetic and classic style that is immediately recognizable and transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. Burleigh’s work is among the most regarded for the period and remains an enduring symbol of nineteenth-century America.
