EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Boston Highlands, 1874" takes us back to a bygone era in the bustling city of Boston, Massachusetts. Captured by James H. Richardson, an American artist of great talent and vision, this image showcases the iconic Cochituate Standpipe water tower that was constructed in 1869. As we gaze upon this historic landmark through the lens of Richardson's artistry, we are transported to a time when Boston was rapidly growing and evolving. The tower stands tall against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape filled with trees and plants that add natural beauty to the scene. The engraving is part of the renowned book "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. This literary masterpiece aimed to capture the essence of America's diverse landscapes through stunning illustrations created by eminent American artists like Richardson himself. In this particular print, Richardson skillfully captures not only the architectural grandeur of the Cochituate Standpipe but also its significance as a symbol of progress and modernity during that period. It serves as a reminder of Boston's rich history and its commitment to providing essential resources such as clean water for its growing population. Through this remarkable piece of artwork from 19th-century America, we can appreciate both Richardson's artistic prowess and his ability to immortalize significant landmarks that continue to shape our understanding and appreciation for cities like Boston today.
