City of Boston, (from South Boston), 1874. Creator: Edward Paxman Brandard
City of Boston, (from South Boston), 1874. Ships on the Charles River at the port of Boston, Massachusetts, USA....on either hand, are the wharfs and docks, crowded with craft of every size, shape, and nationality, from the little fishing-yachts which are wafting, on a summers morning, in large numbers hither and thither on the water, to the stately Cunarder, whose red funnel rises amid the masts in its East- Boston slip. An eye-glance from the harbor takes in nearly the whole of the Boston shipping. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]

EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, created by Edward Paxman Brandard, showcases a panoramic view of the city from South Boston. As our eyes wander across the picture, we are greeted with a mesmerizing sight - ships of various sizes and nationalities gracefully navigating the Charles River. The wharfs and docks on either side are teeming with activity as vessels come and go, representing the vibrant shipping industry that defined this era. From humble fishing yachts gliding through calm waters to majestic Cunarders towering over smaller craft in East-Boston slip, every corner of maritime life is captured within this frame. This remarkable scene was immortalized in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" an influential book edited by William Cullen Bryant. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. Through intricate engravings like this one by Brandard, readers were transported into different landscapes across America. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of an era when trade and transportation played vital roles in shaping cities like Boston. This print not only captures a moment but also encapsulates the spirit of industrial growth and cultural diversity that characterized 19th-century America.
