FINE ANTIQUE PRINTS

“Boston from Roxbury”

This view was included in John H. Hinton’s
History and Topography of the United States of North America
. Hinton’s travel book was first published in 1830.  Its text and pleasing illustrations made the work so popular that it continued to be published in a variety of editions for over 30 years. The views were based upon the drawings and paintings of many well-known artists, some of whom, worked on the spot. They were engraved by accomplished engravers of the period. A beautiful view of what would become known as The White House.
