1856 PRINT: BIRDS EYE VIEW OF CINCINNATI — This rare print was published by Charles Mangus in 1856. Mangus was a New York-based map dealer, book seller and print publisher who is best known for his publications of civil war era prints and city views. It was at this time in the Queen City’s history that construction on one of it’s most notable landmarks would have commenced. From this view, a bridge connecting Cincinnati and northern Kentucky is noticeably absent. As depicted in this city view, the Cincinnati area was a bottleneck on the Ohio River due to overcrowded waterways by riverboats, barges and ferry boats. This economic constraint was the driving factor in securing funding for John Roebling’s suspension bridge. - - #cincymapcollection #cincinnati #ohioriver #birdseyeview #1856 #history #ohio #covington #newport #northernky #prints (at Cincinnati) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpcu7Gpl9eq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q9kf7nidwpha

This was bestowed, probably, in recognition of the fine situation, the lovely surroundings, the excellent climate, the fertile soil of the neighborhood, and the bright prospects for the future greatness of the city, and also in appreciation of the early development of enterprise, culture, refinement, and prosperity among the citizens. When and by whom it was originated the writer is unable to state.

The Burgheim firm was local to Cincinnati with offices at the corner of Vine and Mercer Street. During this era of cartography, it was still common for local publishers to have the most accurate and more detailed maps of the cities in which they were based. M. & R. Burgheim’s maps of the Queen City are especially detailed as evidenced by unique labeling such as the “Refreshments” stand in Eden Park or the Highland House upon the Mt.

The Harper’s article states that “The Cincinnati man’s love for a fine house in a good location has given the city the best suburbs in the country” and “Nearly all the handsome houses are on the bluffs. Some of them overlook the city itself, while others get a glimpse of a quiet view extending miles up the river.” ⁣ ⁣ A link to the full text found in the Harper’s Weekly article can be found on the @cincymapcollection website. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #cincinnati #harpersweekly #cincymapcollection #prints #queencity #history #cincinnatihistory #1888 @harpersmagazine #historichomes #oldhouse #historicalarchitecture #cityviews #birdseyeview #historiccincinnati #historicohio https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WggdBhhR0/?igshid=6ruw42uur1m5
