The city of Boston
Bring a little Boston home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
The kettle is on, with a little time before the next task. Ships and wharves fill the foreground of the Currier and Ives Boston view, giving maritime work a place before the city buildings beyond.
The source records Currier & Ives published 1873 view after Parsons and Atwater; harbor, ships and wharves dominate foreground. The view preserves a particular relationship between Boston Harbor and its shore. Water, buildings and routes form a record of local maritime life at the time of the source.
The illustrated city panorama connects Boston's urban setting with its shipping shore, keeping the harbor's role prominent in the publisher's view of the city. Give it a place near the tea or coffee, so the local view is ready for the cups that come around each day.
