Additional Information Produced by prolific American lithographer and cartographer Henry Wellge this birds eye perspective bears a unique aesthetic and is a stunning depiction of one of the most iconic cities of the American West. Wellge is among five cartographers who produced more than half of all birds eye perspectives which were wildly popular from the middle of the nineteenth century until the 1920s. Wellge?s depictions were produced with stunning detail and have a distinctive aesthetic that immediately transports the viewer back in time creating an indelible link between the present and past. These perspectives served as marketing materials for cities eager to attract industrialists and workers alike. Merchants and residents also displayed them in a show of civic pride. Nebraska?s State Capitol, Lincoln, was growing exponentially in the late nineteenth century and would become a major railroad hub in 1892 creating even more growth and development. Immigrants from Germany and Eastern Europe were establishing thriving neighborhoods and communities in the city, many of which still exist to this day. Nebraska achieved statehood in 1867 and continued to grow throughout the late nineteenth century. Lincoln was experiencing a period of significant prosperity as the turn of the century loomed. Rich ranch land surrounding the urban centers of Lincoln allowed for the cattle industry to thrive as cows could be shipped to meat processing plants from the expanded railroad networks. Lincoln experienced a number shifts throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and would become one of the primary economic drivers in Nebraska and the midwest.
