Casco Bay opens up beneath a high, sweeping vantage point in this view of Portland and the islands scattered across the water beyond it. Bird's-eye panoramas like this were a popular way for nineteenth-century artists and publishers to show growing port cities as a whole, with their harbors, streets, and surrounding shorelines laid out at once. Portland, Maine's largest city, was a busy shipping and fishing center, and the bay's many islands made it a sheltered and valuable anchorage. Look closely at the waterfront and the bay's edges to see how the working harbor fit into the landscape.
