Cincinnati in 1900 was a river city of roughly 325,000 people, still building on the commercial base that had made it the Queen City a generation earlier. Meatpacking, brewing, and the making of furniture, clothing, and tobacco products kept its riverfront and factory districts busy, and Procter & Gamble, founded there in 1837, was already one of the city's most recognized employers. Electric streetcars were replacing horse-drawn lines, carrying workers up the hills from the basin neighborhoods and out to new residential streets. German-American life remained strong in Over-the-Rhine, where beer halls, singing societies, and churches formed the center of neighborhood social life. Residents also took pride in cultural institutions such as Music Hall and the zoo, which had opened in 1875.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of Cincinnati, Ohio, drawn in 1900. Bird's-eye view maps were drawn by travelling artists who walked a town street by street, sketching every building from an imagined vantage point in the air, then sold the finished lithograph door to door by subscription. Roughly five thousand American towns were recorded this way between the 1860s and the 1920s, and for many of them the panoramic map is the most complete picture of the place that survives. Reproduced from the original in the Library of Congress collections. Printed to order on archival paper. Free shipping on all US orders. |
