Description
WHELPLEY, Thomas. Cleveland, Ohio. From Brooklyn Hill Looking East. N. York: Thos. Whelpley, 1834. Fine engraved print of Cleveland, Ohio, float mounted and framed. One of four prints depicting Cleveland from different perspectives, from originally drawings by Whelpley, who also engraved and published them. These form the first visual record that we have of the Cleveland landscape as a whole. Prior to the publication of Whelpley’s views, there were only maps and illustrations of individual buildings. This view features Cleveland’s busy waterfront, with many ships along the Cuyahoga River. It is clearly a city in transition: while there are signs of industry and commerce in the distance, there are still cows and sheep grazing in the foreground. Reps 3085. Frame: 21 ¾ x 26 ¾ inches. Sheet size: 12 ½ x 17 ¼ inches
