"Panoramic View from Bunker Hill Monument", Smillie, James D.

This separately-issued view measures nearly 4-feet long and was drawn by Richard Mallory, engraved by James Smillie, and copyrighted by Mallory and J.C. Crosman. It was taken from the perspective of Bunker Hill Monument, which was built only a few years prior in 1843. The stunning view looks east and extends from the Navy Yards north to Chelsea Bridge and extends out to the Boston Harbor Islands. A comprehensive numbered key at bottom lists important locations including the Custom House, Quincy Market, State House, railroad depots, roads, bridges and more. No covers present.
