Rather than a single city, this print takes in three New England states at once: Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Bird's-eye views like this one were a popular format in the 19th century, drawing the land from an imagined vantage point high above so that towns, rivers, roads and coastline could be read together in one picture. Such views were often used to promote a region and to show residents how their own communities fit into the wider landscape. Its color is also worth noticing, since many prints of this type were hand-tinted or chromolithographed to make them more eye-catching.
