View of Boston, July 4th 1870
Bring a little Boston home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A shelf beside your books can hold a small local view. 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. Make room beside the pen cup or books, keeping the small display within reach of an ordinary day's work at home.
