This print shows the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor around 1874, when the campus was still taking shape. The university began in 1817 in Detroit as the Catholepistemiad and moved to Ann Arbor in 1837, and by the 1870s it had grown into one of the leading state universities in the Midwest. It admitted women beginning in 1870. The record links the print to the firm Duval & Hunter through a shelflist card, but that attribution is unverified, so the maker should be treated as tentative.
