EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving of a Map of St. Louis, circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past with its intricate details and old-fashioned charm. The map, originally featured in the 10th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, showcases the city's layout in a western script on a white background.
The dense and detailed illustration includes navigational equipment symbols along the Mississippi River, providing guidance for exploration during that time period. The square image is cut out to highlight key landmarks and streets within the city limits.
As we study this historical map, we are transported back to a time when physical geography played a crucial role in understanding urban landscapes. The absence of people in this depiction allows us to focus solely on the layout and design of St. Louis as it appeared over a century ago.
This engraving serves as both an educational tool and a work of art, showcasing the skillful technique used by cartographers in the 19th century. It captures not only the essence of St. Louis at that time but also reflects the spirit of discovery and exploration prevalent during this era.
Overall, this Map of St. Louis from 1900 is a fascinating piece that invites viewers to appreciate the history and evolution of one of America's great cities through an artistic lens.
