Few bird's-eye views take in as much ground as this one, which spans four jurisdictions at once: Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. Pictorial views like this were popular in the nineteenth century, when artists drew landscapes as if seen from a high vantage point, so that rivers, roads, towns, and coastline could be read at a glance. The region they cover was central to the young republic, linking the federal capital with the Chesapeake Bay and the tidewater farms that supplied it. Looking closely shows how the artist balanced recognizable landmarks against the broad sweep of the land and water.
