EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the establishing of Baltimore. In 1730, Philip Jones, a skilled surveyor and colonist, meticulously surveyed and laid out the foundations of this vibrant city. The wood engraving beautifully depicts Jones and his team of men diligently working to shape the future metropolis. The image showcases the dedication and ingenuity required to build a thriving colony from scratch. With their engineering tools in hand, these pioneers carefully measured and marked each street, plot, and building site that would soon become part of Baltimore's rich tapestry. Jones' meticulousness is evident as he painstakingly ensures every detail aligns with his vision for this new settlement. His expertise as a surveyor played an instrumental role in shaping Baltimore's layout, setting it on course to become one of America's most iconic cities. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the courage and determination exhibited by those who forged ahead into uncharted territories. Their efforts laid the foundation for what would eventually blossom into a bustling urban center filled with culture, innovation, and opportunity. This wood engraving serves as both a testament to Philip Jones' invaluable contribution to Baltimore's founding story and an homage to all those who played their part in transforming wilderness into civilization.
