This engraving, titled "Map of Philadelphia, from an Atlas of the United States, 1824" offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's rich history. Created by Axel Leonhard KlinckowstrAom in 1824, this intricate map measures 56x44 cm and is now part of the esteemed Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York. The detailed depiction showcases Philadelphia's layout during a pivotal period in American history. The city's grid-like structure is clearly visible, highlighting its well-organized urban planning. The Delaware River gracefully winds through the map, serving as a reminder of Philadelphia's strategic location as an important port city. As we explore this historic cartographic gem, it becomes evident that every street and landmark has been meticulously etched onto paper with great precision.
