ELLSBURY, George H. (1840-1900) – GREEN, Vernon – HOFFMAN, lithographer. St. Paul, Minn. Chicago: Chas. Shober & Co. Proprietors of Chicago Lith. Co., 1874. Fine chromolithographed view of St. Paul, float mounted and framed. Originally published in An Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Minnesota. This view of St. Paul is one of Ellsbury’s last published. Rather than using the popular bird’s-eye view perspective, he portrayed the cities as seen from the ground or from a slight elevation and some distance. We see carriages, cattle, and riverbanks juxtaposed against the skyline of St. Paul, overlooking the Mississippi River. Frame: 27 x 40 inches. Sheet size: 17 ¼ x 30 ½ inches
