Item Details
Description
  • Title/Content of Map: 1844 Boynton Map of Boston -- Plan of the City of Boston…
  • Cartographer: G Boynton
  • Year/Place: 1844, Boston
  • Size: 9.6 X 11.2 in.

    This is an impressive striking plan of Boston features excellent detail around the Harbor. North is oriented to the right. Streets, bridges, piers, and railroads are named. A key in the top right corner identifies 21 places of interest, including City Hall, Faneuil Hall, Tremont House (the first hotel to have indoor plumbing and running water), and in bold Dickinson's Printing Establishment & Type & Stereotype Foundry, where this very map was printed. The wards are numbered. A note below the title indicates that the city's population was 120,000 at the time of publication. The vignette below the title depicts a crowned young woman seated on an anchor next to an overflowing cornucopia with the harbor and city as a backdrop. Printed by S N Dickinson, with the following note next to his imprint: "This Map is a specimen of Plate Printing by a new process affording a third longer wear from a plate than by the old method."
