View of Boston, July 4th 1870
Bring a little Boston home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
A note for later belongs somewhere you will see it again; this magnet adds a picture to that everyday spot. The published Boston view labeled July 4th 1870 puts waterfront and harbor prominently within the city picture, with shore and water considered together.
The source is a published 1870 F. Fuchs / John Weik view, labeled July 4th 1870, with waterfront and harbor prominent. 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 city view connects Boston's streets and buildings with its harbor frontage, preserving the waterfront as part of a published presentation of the whole city. Keep it beside a note or list you want to see again.
