In 1910, Atlantic City, New Jersey, was a city of roughly 46,000 people, and its population still swelled sharply each summer when visitors arrived by train from Philadelphia and other inland cities. The Traymore and the Chalfonte were among the large hotels lining the ocean front, and their staffs of cooks, porters, and maids made up a large share of the working population. Building crews kept busy raising new hotels and boarding houses, while the fishing fleet and city crews kept the waterfront and streets in use. Winter residents knew a quieter town, where many boarding houses shut their doors and the boardwalk emptied between seasons.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of Atlantic City, New Jersey, drawn in 1910. 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. |
