Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1896 was a small river town whose streets were shaped by the Squamscott River and by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which kept residents connected to Boston and the coast. The Robinson Female Seminary, a girls' school in the town, gave Exeter a second educational institution alongside the academy, and the bicycle craze of the 1890s brought young people onto the town's roads and sidewalks. Like other New England communities that year, Exeter followed the national presidential campaign closely, with its voters and local newspapers weighing in on the candidates and the currency question that dominated the contest.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of Exeter, New Hampshire, drawn in 1896. 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. |
