By the end of the nineteenth century St. Louis had become the fourth largest American city and was thriving economically. The city was experiencing massive cultural evolution and becoming one of the jewels of the American midwest. It had the nation’s tallest skyscraper constructed in 1891 and was as culturally significant as any American city at the time. Extensive railroad lines and St fueled the rapid westward expansion, and St. Louis was one of the largest hubs allowing travel throughout the nation to go through the city.
Produced in the distinctive Birds Eye perspective by noted lithographer Charles Juehne, a popular illustration style in the latter portions of the nineteenth century, this stunning map immediately transports the viewer back in time and creates a unique link between past and present. Birds Eye perspectives were produced as marketing materials for prominent cities and would detail notable businesses, civil buildings, and other enticing features.
St. Louis had seen industrialization like no other city following the Civil War's conclusion in 1865, and vast fortunes were being made in manufacturing plants.
