Titled simply "New England," this 1860 work points to a whole region rather than a single street or building, which sets it apart from the more specific views on this board. The date places it just before the Civil War, when New England was one of the most densely settled and industrialized parts of the country, with textile mills, shipyards and railroads linking its towns to Boston and the coastal ports. Images of the period often tried to show farmland, harbors and growing cities together, so it is worth looking at how the scene balances working landscape with settled community.
