River Cities....


Listed are a collection of river cities, the river that flows by them and the date that we have an image of the city. These are not ordinary images but beautiful posters from the past. They are often called "birds eye" views because when the images were created, there were no airplanes. The artists made the prints from surveying the land and the results were their interpretation of what the city might look like from above. The amazing thing about the work is the accuracy of the images. The river, bridges, buildings and other landmarks at the time show a great amount of attention to detail. Many of the posters have buildings identified. If one looks closely, little things can be seen like horse & buggies and riverboats.

Click on the name of a city to see the image. Then click back-page to return to the list. High quality posters may be ordered of these images. For cross reference CLICK HERE to see an alphabetized list of all 92 rivers showing the cities that we have images for along those rivers. The posters are printed on heavy stock with a satin finish for durability and best color. The size is 24" X 36". They are printed in high resolution for optimum clarity. Price is $42.95 including shipping. Posters are shipped by first class U.S. Mail in sturdy tubes for safe delivery and no folds. Some illustrations are in color, while others are in black & white. Most posters have had restoration to remove fold marks and damage but some have not. What the illustration shows is how the final poster will appear. Note that there are various proportions so that if the illustration is square, there will be more space on each side of the print fitting on the rectangular poster. This can be trimmed off if desired. Note that the posters are special order items and will require approximately 10 working days to ship.
