Additional Information

Throughout most of the nineteenth century, Newport News was a small fishing village that experienced rapid growth in the 1880s following the construction of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company. This new industry attracted many residents in the years following the conclusion of the Civil War. The factory was founded by wealthy California railroad magnate Collis P. Huntington who had been recruited to complete the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in the 1870s. The city’s downtown area was incorporated as an independent city in 1896 and remains a historic part of the region with iconic architecture and a traditional aesthetic.

This stunning birds-eye perspective shows the city in a period of significant transformation economically, politically, and culturally. Located at the southern end of the Virginia Peninsula, the city served as an essential hub for transporting imports to inland States and exporting valuable crops and coal to major markets in the Northeast and abroad. Birds eye perspectives were a widely popular style of map that served as marketing materials to attract residents and merchants alike and featured prominent civic features and economic opportunities. Newport News was one of the original eight shires of the Virginia colony as decreed by king Edward in 1634.
 
This map was published during one of the most significant periods of expansion for the city, and this illustration immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. This is an authentic piece of American cartographical history with a distinguished aesthetic.

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.
