Princeton College in New Jersey is the subject here, shown in a bird's-eye view that lifts the viewer above the campus to take in its buildings, grounds and surrounding town at once. Views like this were a popular way for nineteenth-century institutions and towns to advertise themselves, and lithographs made them widely available as printed images. Princeton, chartered in 1746 and then known as the College of New Jersey, was a leading American college by the time such views were produced. The map-like vantage makes the layout of its yard and roads easy to read, which is part of what makes these prints valuable to historians of architecture and campus planning.
